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 2 RAM to play and brings 3 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 1998
Yahoo's online auction site, set up in 1998 to take on eBay.
It charged sellers no fees and lived on adverts. The UK and Ireland service closed in 2002 and the US and Canadian sites in June 2007, but Japan's version is still running.
Boom era, 1995 to 1998. Netscape, frames, hit counters and animated envelopes. Everyone had a homepage, and every homepage was under construction.
The Long Tail: The niche, the local and the specialist. Most of the web, really.
