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.

Commerce cards grow every round and make your opponent pay more to play.

The site, in 2015

A platform where groups, open-source projects and charities raise money and spend it in the open.

Many use it through a fiscal host instead of forming their own legal body. Since 2024 it has been looked after by the Open Finance Consortium, a US non-profit founded by its users.

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.
