What it does

On reveal: Enemy cards cost 1 more to play here.

On reveal happens once, when the card flips.

It costs 5 RAM to play and brings 10 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 2015

A South African subscription streaming service with series, films and documentaries from Hollywood, Nigeria, Kenya, the UK and elsewhere.

Launched in 2015, it was majority owned by MultiChoice, with NBCUniversal holding 30 per cent. By November 2023 it had 2.1 million subscribers in Africa, ahead of Netflix's 1.8 million.

Modern era, 2009 on. Phones, feeds and cookie banners. The web got fast, flat and very sure about notifications.

The Long Tail: The niche, the local and the specialist. Most of the web, really.
