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 4 RAM to play and brings 8 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 1998

A sprawling collection of pages on metaphysics and science, set out like an encyclopedia.

Ellie Crystal put it online on 25 August 1995 and kept adding to it for three decades. By its 30th anniversary in 2025 it held more than 100,000 files.

Boom era, 1995 to 1998. Netscape, frames, hit counters and animated envelopes. Everyone had a homepage, and every homepage was under construction.

Under Construction: Homepages, fan shrines and the GIFs that decorated them.
