What it does
On reveal: If played in round 5 or later, +3 Power to this card.
On reveal happens once, when the card flips.
It costs 4 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 1999
Local classified ads for jobs, housing, things for sale and more, laid out as plain lists of links, started by Craig Newmark in San Francisco.
It began in 1995 as an email list of events for friends. By 2023 it listed about 700 cities in 70 countries and drew 560 million visits a month.
In 1999: Incorporated as a private for-profit company. Newmark left his job to work on it full-time.
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.
