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.

Tech cards bend the rules: more RAM, cheaper cards and patches that weaken the other side.

The site, in 2002

A German online quiz that compares your views on political statements with the positions of the parties standing in an election.

The Federal Agency for Civic Education adapted it from the Dutch StemWijzer and put it online on 27 August 2002 for that year's federal election. The parties set out their own positions on the statements.

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.
