What it does

Ongoing: +2 Power to your other Modern cards here.

Ongoing is always on while the card is in play.

It costs 2 RAM to play and brings 1 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 2009

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.

Modern era, 2009 on. Phones, feeds and cookie banners. The web got fast, flat and very sure about notifications.

The Long Tail: The niche, the local and the specialist. Most of the web, really.
