What it does
On reveal: The first card you play next round costs 1 less.
On reveal happens once, when the card flips.
It costs 2 RAM to play and brings 3 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 2007
An Indian online shop that began by selling books, founded in Bengaluru by two former Amazon employees.
Sachin Bansal and Binny Bansal started it in 2007 with ₹200,000 from each of their families. It grew to sell almost everything, bought the fashion shop Myntra in 2014, and has been controlled by Walmart since 2018.
In 2007: Launched in October from a two-bedroom flat in Bengaluru, selling only books.
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.
