What it does
Ongoing: If this is your only card here, +4 Power to this card.
Ongoing is always on while the card is in play.
It costs 2 RAM to play and brings 2 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 2002
A free web hosting service for home pages, first aimed at college students, and later owned by Lycos.
It began with Williams College classmates Bo Peabody and Brett Hershey and a professor, Dick Sabot. Lycos bought it in 1998 for a reported $58 million. Free pages ended in 2009, and it shut on 24 April 2026.
In 2002: Run by Lycos beside Angelfire. It had reached six million registered users in early 2001, up from nearly one million at the time of the buyout.
Dot-com era, 1999 to 2002. Glossy buttons, big money and a bug called Y2K. Some of these companies were worth billions for about a fortnight.
Under Construction: Homepages, fan shrines and the GIFs that decorated them.
Pixel tribute by dub3, after the 2002 page.
In the game, this pixel page loads the way it did in 2002, then plays a short scene. Want Tripod in your deck? Make a free account and open some packs, or try a match first. No sign-up needed for that.
