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.

Social cards lift the cards around them, here and in the other lanes.

The site, in 2003

A German news site on digital rights and digital culture, begun as a blog by Markus Beckedahl in the early 2000s.

It covers mass surveillance, open source software, data protection, privacy and net neutrality. In 2015 federal prosecutors opened a treason investigation into two of its journalists over published leaks, then dropped it that August.

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.
