Commerce cards grow every round and make your opponent pay more to play.
The site, in 1999
A business-to-business marketplace that Jack Ma started with 17 friends and students in his Hangzhou apartment.
Founded in 1999, it drew $20 million from SoftBank in January 2000 and turned a profit in 2002.
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.
