What it does
On reveal: Enemy cards cost 2 more to play here.
On reveal happens once, when the card flips.
It costs 3 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 1999
An American online shoe and clothing shop based in Las Vegas, which began life as ShoeSite.com.
Nick Swinmurn started it in 1999 as ShoeSite.com and renamed it Zappos, from the Spanish word for shoes, that July. Amazon's deal closed in November 2009 at a reported $1.2 billion, with shareholders getting about 10 million Amazon shares.
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.
