What it does
No ability.
No ability, just Power. Sometimes that's all a homepage needs.
It costs 3 RAM to play and brings 6 Power to its lane. You get 1 RAM in round 1, 2 in round 2, and so on.
Search cards grow with the friends in their lane, and some draw you cards.
The site, in 1998
A search engine that sold its top results: advertisers bid, and the highest bidder appeared first.
Bill Gross started it at Idealab and launched it in 1998. It charged advertisers per click, a model Google and others later made standard. It was renamed Overture in 2001, and Yahoo bought it in 2003.
Boom era, 1995 to 1998. Netscape, frames, hit counters and animated envelopes. Everyone had a homepage, and every homepage was under construction.
Dead Links: Gone, but not forgotten. Mostly forgotten.
