What it does

When you play a card here: +1 Power to your other cards here.

When you play a card here fires each time you add another card to that lane.

It costs 6 RAM to play and brings 13 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 2009

A free map of the world made by volunteers, who add roads, buildings and places by GPS survey, by tracing aerial photos and by importing open data.

Steve Coast started it because the Ordnance Survey would not release its data under free licences. The data is free to reuse, and is used for navigation and humanitarian aid. A non-profit foundation runs it, funded mostly by donations.

In 2009: Version 0.6 of the editing API arrived this year, and is still the current one. Data quality still varied a good deal from one part of the world to another.

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

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

In the game, this pixel page loads the way it did in 2009, then plays a short scene. Want OpenStreetMap in your deck? Make a free account and open some packs, or try a match first. No sign-up needed for that.
