What it does
No ability.
No ability, just Power. Sometimes that's all a homepage needs.
It costs 2 RAM to play and brings 4 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 1999
The Hong Kong branch of Yahoo, set up in 1999, which has offered news, online games, auctions and weather.
It held a large share of the Hong Kong market early on, against Google, MSN and Sina. After a reorganisation it closed many services and turned to news, with celebrities as columnists.
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.
