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 2 RAM to play and brings 4 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

An American travel site selling airline tickets, hotel rooms, rental cars and holiday packages.

It sells off unsold travel inventory at a discount, often with the exact hotel kept hidden until you pay. It launched in 2000, IAC agreed to buy it in 2003, and it is based in San Francisco as part of Expedia Group.

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.
