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 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 2013

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 2013: Still the original version built on JotSpot technology, which a 2016 redesign replaced.

Modern era, 2009 on. Phones, feeds and cookie banners. The web got fast, flat and very sure about notifications.

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