On reveal happens once, when the card flips.
It costs 4 RAM to play and brings 6 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 Chinese internet company whose 163.com portal grew from free email into news, games and music. Ding Lei founded it in June 1997.
The address comes from 163, the number people dialled to get online in China. It is credited with China's first free email service, and has turned out games such as Fantasy Westward Journey.
In 2002: The previous December it had launched an online game, Westward Journey Online, from the games unit formed in 2001.
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 NetEase in your deck? Make a free account and open some packs, or try a match first. No sign-up needed for that.
