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 2011

A New York-based digital media site on African culture, music and politics, started as a sister site to Questlove's Okayplayer.

Vanessa Wruble and Ginny Suss founded it in 2010. By 2020 it was the largest US-based website on new and progressive music, art, politics and culture from Africa.

Modern era, 2009 on. Phones, feeds and cookie banners. The web got fast, flat and very sure about notifications.

The Long Tail: The niche, the local and the specialist. Most of the web, really.
