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.
Tech cards bend the rules: more RAM, cheaper cards and patches that weaken the other side.
The site, in 2003
An independent record label from Berkeley, California, that sold music online as downloads and licensed it for other uses.
Founded in spring 2003, it was the first record label to license music online, with over 7,000 licences sold by 2015. It added membership plans in 2008 and stopped taking new subscriptions or licences in 2024.
Web 2.0 era, 2003 to 2008. Rounded corners, reflections and drop shadows. Everything was social, and everything was in beta.
The Long Tail: The niche, the local and the specialist. Most of the web, really.
