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.
Creators cards are strongest on their own, and some only get going late.
The site, in 2000
A British site for finding old schoolmates, colleagues and neighbours, begun by a husband and wife from their back bedroom.
It was the first online social network to become prominent in Britain, and it survived the dot-com crash. ITV owned it until August 2009. It closed on 26 February 2016, after 16 years.
Dot-com era, 1999 to 2002. Glossy buttons, big money and a bug called Y2K. Some of these companies were worth billions for about a fortnight.
The Long Tail: The niche, the local and the specialist. Most of the web, really.
