What it does
Ongoing: From round 5, +4 Power to this card.
Ongoing is always on while the card is in play.
It costs 4 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 2008
Google's free tool for building wiki-style websites and web pages, part of its online office suite.
It used technology from JotSpot, a firm founded by two of Excite's co-founders, which Google bought in 2006. Turkey blocked all Sites pages in 2009 over one page, and in 2012 a European court found the block breached freedom of expression.
In 2008: Unveiled on 28 February. At first you needed your own domain name, until 21 May.
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.
