What it does

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

On reveal happens once, when the card flips.

It costs 3 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 2006

A classified ads network with sections for jobs, personals, rentals, things for sale, services, property, vehicles and pets.

It ran as a worldwide network of local sites rather than one big one. This version is the German address, locanto.de.

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.
