What it does
Ongoing: If this is your only card here, +3 Power to this card.
Ongoing is always on while the card is in play.
It costs 5 RAM to play and brings 10 Power to its lane. You get 1 RAM in round 1, 2 in round 2, and so on.
Creators cards are strongest on their own, and some only get going late.
The site, in 1999
A Japanese recipe-sharing site where home cooks post their own recipes and visitors search them for ideas.
Akimitsu Sano's company Coin started it, and it grew into Japan's largest recipe site, with 60 million monthly users in Japan and more than 5 million recipes by 2018.
In 1999: Kitchen@coin, opened in March 1998, took the name Cookpad in June 1999.
Dot-com era, 1999 to 2002. Glossy buttons, big money and a bug called Y2K. Some of these companies were worth billions for about a fortnight.
The Long Tail: The niche, the local and the specialist. Most of the web, really.
