What it does

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

On reveal happens once, when the card flips.

It costs 3 RAM to play and brings 5 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 2006

A mobile payment provider specialising in payments by text message, with premium SMS services in 92 countries.

Its stated aim was, and still is, to cover as many countries as possible, across hundreds of mobile networks worldwide.

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.
