What it does
No ability.
No ability, just Power. Sometimes that's all a homepage needs.
It costs 5 RAM to play and brings 10 Power to its lane. You get 1 RAM in round 1, 2 in round 2, and so on.
Tech cards bend the rules: more RAM, cheaper cards and patches that weaken the other side.
The site, in 2009
BlackBerry's app store, where users browsed, downloaded and updated apps for their phones.
It opened on 1 April 2009 as BlackBerry App World. At one point in 2011 it earned more revenue per app than Apple's store, Nokia's Ovi Store or Google's Android Market. Its servers shut down in January 2022.
Modern era, 2009 on. Phones, feeds and cookie banners. The web got fast, flat and very sure about notifications.
The Long Tail: The niche, the local and the specialist. Most of the web, really.
