What it does

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

On reveal happens once, when the card flips.

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

Samsung's app store, preinstalled on Galaxy phones, tablets and watches, with apps, games and themes. A Samsung account is needed to use it.

It grew out of a 2008 developer programme and had 40,000 apps by its second anniversary in 2011. It has had three names: Samsung Apps, Galaxy Apps and, since 2019, Galaxy Store.

In 2009: Launched at Mobile World Congress, with Samsung Apps reaching western Europe on 14 September.

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.
