What it does

Ongoing: +2 Power to your other Dot-com cards here.

Ongoing is always on while the card is in play.

It costs 3 RAM to play and brings 4 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 2000

A volunteer-edited open database of music: artists, albums, tracks and how they connect, run by the MetaBrainz Foundation.

Founded in response to restrictions on CDDB, the database that named your CDs. Its core data has been public domain since 2003. By May 2026 it held over 38 million recordings.

In 2000: Started this year, and began using acoustic fingerprints to identify tracks, which drew in a large user base.

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.

Cult Classics: Small, strange and loved to bits by the people who found them.
