What it does

No ability.

No ability, just Power. Sometimes that's all a homepage needs.

It costs 1 RAM to play and brings 2 Power to its lane. You get 1 RAM in round 1, 2 in round 2, and so on.

Social cards lift the cards around them, here and in the other lanes.

The site, in 2009

A site of embarrassing but funny family photos, submitted by readers from their own albums.

Mike Bender and Doug Chernack launched it early in 2009 after Bender saw one of his own family photos framed at his parents' house. A radio station's site spread it, and it grew into books, board games and a museum exhibition.

In 2009: Launched early in the year and spread fast once a radio station's website shared it.

Modern era, 2009 on. Phones, feeds and cookie banners. The web got fast, flat and very sure about notifications.

Meme Machine: Where the jokes everyone repeated got started.
