What it does
Ongoing: +1 Power to this card for each card you have in play, up to +4.
Ongoing is always on while the card is in play.
It costs 6 RAM to play and brings 10 Power to its lane. You get 1 RAM in round 1, 2 in round 2, and so on.
Search cards grow with the friends in their lane, and some draw you cards.
The site, in 2007
A version control system that also bundles bug tracking, a wiki and a web server in one program, written by D. Richard Hipp.
Hipp also created SQLite, and wrote Fossil for it: SQLite's documentation moved into Fossil in November 2007 and its core source code in August 2009. It is distributed, so every clone holds the whole history.
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.
Pixel tribute by dub3, after the 2007 page.
In the game, this pixel page loads the way it did in 2007, then plays a short scene. Want Fossil in your deck? Make a free account and open some packs, or try a match first. No sign-up needed for that.
