What it does

No ability.

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

It costs 4 RAM to play and brings 8 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 1999

A website written entirely in Catalan, covering culture, society and news from the Catalan Countries, with a busy forum.

Three students, Joan Camp, Oriol Morell and Guillem Sureda, started it on 4 March 1999. By early 2013 its forum had carried nearly 5 million messages and it had over 20,000 registered users.

Dot-com era, 1999 to 2002. Glossy buttons, big money and a bug called Y2K. Some of these companies were worth billions for about a fortnight.

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