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.
Commerce cards grow every round and make your opponent pay more to play.
The site, in 2000
A royalty-free stock photo site based in Calgary, Alberta, selling pictures at low microstock prices.
Bruce Livingstone began it in May 2000 as a free image-sharing site, and it started charging in 2001. Getty Images bought it for $50 million in February 2006.
Dot-com era, 1999 to 2002. Glossy buttons, big money and a bug called Y2K. Some of these companies were worth billions for about a fortnight.
The Long Tail: The niche, the local and the specialist. Most of the web, really.
