What it does
On reveal: +4 Power to a random card in your hand.
On reveal happens once, when the card flips.
It costs 5 RAM to play and brings 8 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 2009
A free browser game portal full of short, simple games, among them the Helicopter Game.
Bill Karamouzis bought the web address in the early 2000s and built it into a games site. Atom Entertainment bought it in 2004, and MTV Networks bought Atom for $200 million in 2006. Karamouzis got it back in 2018.
In 2009: Owned by Viacom, which had bought its parent Atom Entertainment three years earlier.
Modern era, 2009 on. Phones, feeds and cookie banners. The web got fast, flat and very sure about notifications.
Cult Classics: Small, strange and loved to bits by the people who found them.
