What it does

On reveal: The first card you play next round costs 1 less.

On reveal happens once, when the card flips.

It costs 1 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 1999

A price comparison service, started in Sweden and based in Stockholm, that also runs in Denmark and the UK.

It launched in 1999. In March 2022 the Swedish fintech company Klarna announced that it had bought it.

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.
