What it does

Ongoing is always on while the card is in play.
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 2004
A hospitality network where travellers ask members around the world for a free place to sleep in their home.
Casey Fenton had the idea in 1999 after emailing 1,500 Icelandic students for a bed; 50 to 100 said yes. Volunteers rebuilt the site after a database loss in 2006. It became a for-profit company in 2011.
Web 2.0 era, 2003 to 2008. Rounded corners, reflections and drop shadows. Everything was social, and everything was in beta.
The Long Tail: The niche, the local and the specialist. Most of the web, really.
