What it does

Ongoing: +2 Power to your other Web 2.0 cards here.

Ongoing is always on while the card is in play.

It costs 4 RAM to play and brings 6 Power to its lane. You get 1 RAM in round 1, 2 in round 2, and so on.

Tech cards bend the rules: more RAM, cheaper cards and patches that weaken the other side.

The site, in 2008

A language learning platform on the web and mobile where learners practise with native speakers.

It is named after Busuu, an endangered language of Cameroon that a 1980s study found only eight people could still speak. Chegg agreed to buy the company for about $436 million in November 2021.

Web 2.0 era, 2003 to 2008. Rounded corners, reflections and drop shadows. Everything was social, and everything was in beta.

The Long Tail: The niche, the local and the specialist. Most of the web, really.
