What it does

No ability.

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

It costs 2 RAM to play and brings 4 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 2010

A photo project of street portraits and short interviews with people in New York City, begun by photographer Brandon Stanton.

It started in November 2010 and had around 30 million social media followers by 2025. Stanton interviewed Barack Obama in the Oval Office in January 2015, and hundreds of 'Humans of' copies appeared in other cities.

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.
