What it does

On reveal: Enemy cards cost 1 more to play here.

On reveal happens once, when the card flips.

It costs 3 RAM to play and brings 5 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 1999

A Polish online marketplace, headquartered in Poznań, that started in 1999 as an auction site.

It is Poland's largest e-commerce platform and also trades in the Czech Republic, Slovakia and Hungary. Naspers sold it in 2016 for $3.25 billion, and it listed on the Warsaw Stock Exchange in October 2020.

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.
