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.
Commerce cards grow every round and make your opponent pay more to play.
The site, in 2000
A New York start-up that promised free one-hour delivery of videos, games, books, food and Starbucks coffee in several US cities.
Founded in March 1998 by two young investment bankers, Joseph Park and Yong Kang, it was out of business by April 2001. It is often cited as a dot-com bubble example. The brand was relaunched as a warehouse club in 2018.
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.
