What it does
No ability.
No ability, just Power. Sometimes that's all a homepage needs.
It costs 1 RAM to play and brings 2 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 1998
An online pet supplies shop from San Francisco, remembered for its sock puppet mascot, a dog with a microphone.
The puppet, performed by Michael Ian Black, appeared in the 1999 Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade and a 2000 Super Bowl ad. Sales rose, but the company never made a profit and shut in November 2000, one of the best-known dot-com failures.
In 1998: The site launched in early November, as a spin-off of WebMagic.
Boom era, 1995 to 1998. Netscape, frames, hit counters and animated envelopes. Everyone had a homepage, and every homepage was under construction.
Dead Links: Gone, but not forgotten. Mostly forgotten.
