What it does

On reveal: Enemy cards cost 1 more to play here.

On reveal happens once, when the card flips.

It costs 4 RAM to play and brings 7 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 2005

An American vacation rental marketplace, founded in Austin in February 2005, offering homes from villas to castles and barns.

It ran 50 websites in 23 languages. Expedia Group bought it for $3.9 billion in December 2015, and in 2020 the HomeAway and VRBO sites were merged into a single Vrbo site.

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.
