What it does

Ongoing is always on while the card is in play.
It costs 4 RAM to play and brings 8 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 2014
Jono Brandel and Lullatone's visual sound kit: each letter key plays one of 26 sounds with an animation, and the space bar swaps colours and sounds.
Brandel and the Japanese duo Lullatone balanced each set at 13 melodic and 13 rhythmic sounds so anyone could make a tune. It went online on 25 March 2014 and was shown at the Japan Media Arts Festival.
In 2014: Released online on 25 March and on the iPhone on 6 June.
Modern era, 2009 on. Phones, feeds and cookie banners. The web got fast, flat and very sure about notifications.
Net Art: Websites that are artworks, by people who saw the browser as a canvas.
