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.
Commerce cards grow every round and make your opponent pay more to play.
The site, in 1998
An American company selling internet-based postage, mailing and shipping services.
It began in 1996 as StampMaster, founded by three UCLA MBA students, and became Stamps.com in December 1998. It went public in June 1999. Thoma Bravo bought it in 2021, and the company is now called Auctane.
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.
