What it does

Ongoing: From round 5, +4 Power to this card.

Ongoing is always on while the card is in play.

It costs 3 RAM to play and brings 3 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 1997

A web art maze by graphic designer Ben Benjamin, made of linked sub-projects that range from technical-looking to wacky.

It won a Webby in the Weird category in 1999 and was one of nine sites in the Whitney Museum Biennial in 2000. Benjamin sells nothing on it. Click anywhere on the main page and you drop into a sub-project.

In 1997: The year graphic designer Ben Benjamin made it, as a test bed for his web design work for technology companies.

Boom era, 1995 to 1998. Netscape, frames, hit counters and animated envelopes. Everyone had a homepage, and every homepage was under construction.

Net Art: Websites that are artworks, by people who saw the browser as a canvas.
