What it does
When you play a card here: +1 Power to this card.
When you play a card here fires each time you add another card to that lane.
It costs 1 RAM to play and brings 1 Power to its lane. You get 1 RAM in round 1, 2 in round 2, and so on.
Social cards lift the cards around them, here and in the other lanes.
The site, in 2001
A community site for users of cluster and grid computing software, which also ran volunteer projects that borrowed spare computer power.
Established in 2001, it let members donate spare processor time to worthwhile causes for six years. In 2007 it became a community for open source grid software, and after about 2010 it redirected elsewhere.
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.
The Long Tail: The niche, the local and the specialist. Most of the web, really.
Pixel tribute by dub3, after the 2001 page.
In the game, this pixel page loads the way it did in 2001, then plays a short scene. Want grid.org in your deck? Make a free account and open some packs, or try a match first. No sign-up needed for that.
