What it does

Ongoing: +2 Power to this card for each card you have here, up to +4.

Ongoing is always on while the card is in play.

It costs 5 RAM to play and brings 6 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 2006

The news portal of Brazil's Grupo Globo, run under the guidance of its journalism arm, Central Globo de Jornalismo.

It opened on 18 September 2006. English and Spanish editions with subtitled videos arrived in June 2010 and were later dropped. For its 15th anniversary in 2021 it changed its logo and wrote its name in lower case.

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.
