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.

Media cards broadcast Power to your other lanes.

The site, in 2007

A Dutch news satire website that parodies the style of regular news outlets in articles and videos.

Jochem van den Berg and Melle van den Berg, who are not related, founded it in 2007. It was the Netherlands' most viral website in 2014 and 2015, and a few of its articles have been translated into English.

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.
