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 1998

A Russian video game news and review site that grew out of a games encyclopedia.

Vyacheslav Golovanov and Andrey Shevchenko started it in April 1998. Its editorial team left in 2012 to found Riot Pixels, and the site stopped updating after December 2016.

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.
