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 travel site of reviews, forum posts and prices for hotels, restaurants and attractions, largely written by travellers.

Co-founder Stephen Kaufer got the idea after a frustrating hunt to plan a family holiday. Its pages hold roughly 1 billion reviews of around 8 million places, in 40 countries.

In 2005: A year after IAC bought it, it joined Expedia when IAC spun off its travel businesses in August. It had hit 5 million unique visitors a month in 2004.

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.
