What it does

No ability.

No ability, just Power. Sometimes that's all a homepage needs.

It costs 5 RAM to play and brings 10 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 1997

A popular Thai-language website and discussion forum.

Its topic boards are quoted in the Thai press as a gauge of public mood. It was first popular partly because people mistook it for Pantip Plaza, Bangkok's IT shopping centre. They have no connection. In 2016 it ranked in Thailand's top 10 sites.

Boom era, 1995 to 1998. Netscape, frames, hit counters and animated envelopes. Everyone had a homepage, and every homepage was under construction.

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