What it does
On reveal: If you already have another Creators card here, +3 Power to this card.
On reveal happens once, when the card flips.
It costs 4 RAM to play and brings 7 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 2002
Free home pages for anyone, each one filed under a themed "city" such as Hollywood or SiliconValley.
It signed up its millionth member in 1997 and was among the busiest sites on the web when Yahoo paid $3.57 billion for it in 1999. Yahoo closed the US service in 2009; archivists saved about 900 GB of it.
In 2002: Yahoo had owned it since 1999. Paid hosting had arrived, and free accounts faced tighter limits on visitor traffic.
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.
Under Construction: Homepages, fan shrines and the GIFs that decorated them.
Pixel tribute by dub3, after the 2002 page.
In the game, this pixel page loads the way it did in 2002, then plays a short scene. Want GeoCities in your deck? Make a free account and open some packs, or try a match first. No sign-up needed for that.
