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.
Creators cards are strongest on their own, and some only get going late.
The site, in 1998
A website builder for people who couldn't code, where you edited your page as it would look and the company hosted it.
Founded in Menlo Park in October 1997, it put its site online in June 1998. Intuit bought it for about $170 million in December 2007, and in 2012 it was sold to Endurance International Group of Burlington, Massachusetts.
Boom era, 1995 to 1998. Netscape, frames, hit counters and animated envelopes. Everyone had a homepage, and every homepage was under construction.
The Long Tail: The niche, the local and the specialist. Most of the web, really.
