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 1999
A shop for digital fonts, based in Woburn, Massachusetts, created by the font company Bitstream.
Launched in September 1999 at a type conference in Boston and began selling fonts in March 2000. Monotype Imaging bought it in 2012 for $50 million in cash.
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.
