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 2002
A web mapping service that gave you maps and driving directions to print out before a trip.
It launched in 1996 as the first commercial web mapping service. It went public in February 1999 and was sold to AOL in a $1.1 billion deal that closed in 2000. It lost ground to Google Maps in the mid-2000s.
In 2002: An AOL property by now, after the sale closed in 2000.
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.
Pixel tribute by dub3, after the 2002 page.
In the game, this pixel page loads the way it did in 2002, then plays a short scene. Want MapQuest in your deck? Make a free account and open some packs, or try a match first. No sign-up needed for that.
