What it does

No ability.

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

It costs 3 RAM to play and brings 6 Power to its lane. You get 1 RAM in round 1, 2 in round 2, and so on.

Media cards broadcast Power to your other lanes.

The site, in 2003

An online literary magazine created by C. Max Magee in 2003, with articles about books and book reviews.

Its name plays on Magee's own, Maximilian. In 2011 it posted an open letter to the Swedish Academy asking for a Nobel Prize for Philip Roth. Publishers Weekly bought it in 2019.

Web 2.0 era, 2003 to 2008. Rounded corners, reflections and drop shadows. Everything was social, and everything was in beta.

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