What it does

On reveal: Enemy cards cost 2 more to play here.

On reveal happens once, when the card flips.

It costs 5 RAM to play and brings 8 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 2001

An American online ticket marketplace where fans resell tickets to sports, concerts and shows.

Jerry Bednyak and Eric Vassilatos founded it in Chicago in 2001. It went public in October 2021 and sold its 100 millionth ticket in January 2022. It is an official ticketing partner of ESPN, United Airlines and several sports teams.

Dot-com era, 1999 to 2002. Glossy buttons, big money and a bug called Y2K. Some of these companies were worth billions for about a fortnight.

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