What it does

On reveal: If an enemy card was revealed here earlier this round, +2 Power to this card.

On reveal happens once, when the card flips.

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 2010

An Indian site for paying bills and topping up mobile phones, broadband, satellite TV and metro cards, based in Gurgaon.

Snapdeal bought it in April 2015 for about US$400 million in cash and stock, then the second biggest takeover in Indian e-commerce. Axis Bank bought it in July 2017 for $60 million.

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.
