What it does

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

On reveal happens once, when the card flips.

It costs 2 RAM to play and brings 2 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 1999

An online bank founded in 1999 in Palo Alto, California, by Ed Ho, Harris Fricker, Elon Musk and Christopher Payne.

It charged no fees or overdraft penalties, and let you pay anyone by email address. It merged with PayPal's makers, Confinity, in March 2000, and the company became PayPal in 2001. Musk bought the x.com domain back in 2017.

In 1999: Founded in March, it opened officially on 7 December and reportedly had over 200,000 sign-ups within two months.

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.

Dead Links: Gone, but not forgotten. Mostly forgotten.
