What it does

No ability.

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

It costs 6 RAM to play and brings 13 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 2014

An open-source web application for monitoring the world's forests in near real time, run by the World Resources Institute.

The institute started Global Forest Watch in 1997 as a forest monitoring network, then relaunched it as a web application in February 2014. Google, USAID, the University of Maryland and Esri are among its partners.

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.
