What it does

No ability.

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

It costs 4 RAM to play and brings 8 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 2007

A self-publishing service owned by Amazon, where authors could have their books printed on demand.

It grew from BookSurge, founded in South Carolina in 2000 and bought by Amazon in 2005. The two arms merged under the CreateSpace name in 2009, and Amazon folded it into Kindle Direct Publishing in 2018.

Web 2.0 era, 2003 to 2008. Rounded corners, reflections and drop shadows. Everything was social, and everything was in beta.

The Long Tail: The niche, the local and the specialist. Most of the web, really.
