What it does
No ability.
No ability, just Power. Sometimes that's all a homepage needs.
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.
Search cards grow with the friends in their lane, and some draw you cards.
The site, in 1994
An early search engine by Martijn Koster at Nexor, in which site owners submitted their own index files.
The name stands for Archie-Like Indexing for the Web. Webmasters wrote their own descriptions and keywords, so no crawling robots were needed. It was shown at the first World Wide Web conference, at CERN, in May 1994.
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.
Pixel tribute by dub3, after the 1994 page.
In the game, this pixel page loads the way it did in 1994, then plays a short scene. Want Aliweb in your deck? Make a free account and open some packs, or try a match first. No sign-up needed for that.
