What it does

On reveal: -1 to +3 Power to this card.

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.

Games cards roll the dice. Sometimes the dice roll you.

The site, in 2003

A video game website from Ziff Davis with news, reviews and interviews, plus a network of gaming podcasts.

Its podcasts included Retronauts, a series about classic games. After Hearst bought it in 2009, over 30 jobs went. In February 2013 Ziff Davis announced it would wind the site down.

In 2003: Launched this year, with its own features, news, reviews and video interviews, and week-long online cover stories.

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.
