What it does

On reveal: Enemy cards cost 2 more to play here.

On reveal happens once, when the card flips.

It costs 6 RAM to play and brings 11 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 2000

A Japanese food delivery site where you order meals from restaurants that deliver.

The name joins demae, the Japanese word for food delivery, to kan, a word for a hall or house. The site opened in October 2000, a year after the company behind it was set up in Osaka.

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.
