What it does
Ongoing: If this is your only card here, +3 Power to this card.
Ongoing is always on while the card is in play.
It costs 3 RAM to play and brings 6 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 1994
Bill Arnett's multimedia tour of the Solar System, with an encyclopedic page for each major body illustrated mostly with NASA photographs.
It went up in 1994 as one of the first multimedia websites, and so many people visited that it was mirrored on servers around the world. PC Magazine put it in its Top 100 websites in 1995.
In 1994: Appeared on the web this year and was soon copied to mirror servers, as busy sites were then.
Pioneer era, up to 1994. Grey pages, blue links and a browser called Mosaic. Images were optional. So was colour.
The Long Tail: The niche, the local and the specialist. Most of the web, really.
