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.

Tech cards bend the rules: more RAM, cheaper cards and patches that weaken the other side.

The site, in 2012

A Russian crowdfunding platform where people back projects with money, in the way Kickstarter made familiar.

It started in August 2012, and its site still carries a Startup of the Year 2012 badge. It now also pitches itself to AI and online-service startups.

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.
