What it does

No ability.

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

It costs 6 RAM to play and brings 13 Power to its lane. You get 1 RAM in round 1, 2 in round 2, and so on.

Search cards grow with the friends in their lane, and some draw you cards.

The site, in 2001

An online encyclopedia of New Zealand, set up in 2001 by the country's Ministry for Culture and Heritage.

It was published in stages, with the first sections out in 2005 and the last in 2014. It holds over three million words by more than 450 authors and over 30,000 images and clips. Te Ara is Māori for "the pathway".

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.
