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 2010

A Dutch online travel company selling discounted holiday deals, shown here at its Dutch web address.

It began in Amsterdam in April 2010 with one travel deal a day. By 2015 it had more than 650 staff, after 95 million euros in turnover in 2014. It went bankrupt in October 2018, and Secret Escapes bought the brand.

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.
