What it does
Each round end: +1 Power to this card.
Each round end fires as every round finishes.
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 2007
A 3D printing service and marketplace: you upload a design and it prints and ships the object, or sells it to others.
It offered over 55 materials and finishes, from plastics to brass, bronze and precious metals. It filed for bankruptcy in July 2024, and its original Dutch founders then restarted production in Eindhoven.
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.
