What it does

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

On reveal happens once, when the card flips.

It costs 2 RAM to play and brings 1 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

An American ranking and review site for schools, colleges, cities, neighbourhoods and companies.

Luke Skurman founded it in 2002 as College Prowler, a publisher of print guidebooks to US colleges, before it moved online and took the name Niche. It is based in Pittsburgh.

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.
