What it does

Ongoing: If this is your only card here, +4 Power to this card.

Ongoing is always on while the card is in play.

It costs 3 RAM to play and brings 5 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 1995

A South African design brand with an online publication and events, best known for its annual three-day conference in Cape Town.

Interactive Africa founded it in 1995. The conference is broadcast live to other cities, including Johannesburg, Durban, Nairobi, Windhoek, Kampala and Lausanne.

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

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