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 2003
The home of Winamp, a Windows music player from Nullsoft that you could reshape with plug-ins and skins.
Justin Frankel and Dmitry Boldyrev's company Nullsoft sold it to AOL in 1999 for $80 million. By 2001 it had 60 million users.
In 2003: Winamp 5 arrived, after the rewrite called Winamp3 got a poor reception in 2002.
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.
Pixel tribute by dub3, after the 2003 page.
