What it does
On reveal: -1 to +3 Power to this card.
On reveal happens once, when the card flips.
It costs 4 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 2013
An incremental browser game in which clicking a giant cookie earns cookies to buy cursors, grandmas, farms and stranger buildings that bake more.
French programmer Julien 'Orteil' Thiennot wrote it in one evening on 8 August 2013; it had 50,000 players within hours and 1.5 million hits on its peak day that month. It is credited with helping start the idle-game genre.
In 2013: Written and posted on 8 August; by January 2014 it was still getting 225,000 hits a day.
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.
