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.

Commerce cards grow every round and make your opponent pay more to play.

The site, in 1995

An online marketplace for holiday homes, based in Austin, Texas and owned by Expedia Group.

The programmer David Clouse made the website in 1995 to rent out his Breckenridge ski condo. HomeAway bought it in 2006 and Expedia Group in 2016. It began as Vacation Rentals by Owner and became plain Vrbo in 2019.

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.
