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.

Social cards lift the cards around them, here and in the other lanes.

The site, in 1999

A Chinese internet forum whose name means Edge of the World, with message boards, blogs, microblogs and photo albums.

Founded on 14 February 1999, it became one of China's most visited sites, ranked 11th there in 2015. It went offline on 26 April 2023 and came back on 2 June 2026.

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.
