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 2005

A Ukrainian online retailer that began with electronics and now sells a wide range of goods through its own shop and a marketplace.

Vladyslav Chechetkin and his wife Iryna launched it in 2005, and the name means 'socket' in Ukrainian. Rozetka later took a majority stake in EVO Group, owner of the Prom.ua marketplace.

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.
