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 website for fathers who count themselves geeks, with posts on Lego, Star Wars, Star Trek, video games, books and family outings.
Wired editor Chris Anderson started it as a Wired blog on 15 March 2007, and Ken Denmead led it. Time named it one of the best blogs of 2010. It left Wired in 2013 and runs a regular podcast.
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.
