What it does
Each round end: If this is your only card here, +1 Power to this card.
Each round end fires as every round finishes.
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.
Creators cards are strongest on their own, and some only get going late.
The site, in 1998
A one-page French joke site: a headline asks if you are lost on the internet, promises help, and points an arrow at a star marked 'you are here'.
Owned by Gilles Boccon-Gibod and hosted in Los Altos, California, the whole page is a single line of HTML about 200 characters long. In 2016 he said it drew one to two million visits a day.
In 1998: The page as it is known dates from this year; the domain had been registered in June 1996.
Boom era, 1995 to 1998. Netscape, frames, hit counters and animated envelopes. Everyone had a homepage, and every homepage was under construction.
The Weird Web: One page, one joke, no reason. The internet at its best.
Pixel tribute by dub3, after the 1998 page.
In the game, this pixel page loads the way it did in 1998, then plays a short scene. Want perdu.com in your deck? Make a free account and open some packs, or try a match first. No sign-up needed for that.
