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 1999

A British entertainment news website covering television, film, music and show business, with its own forum.

It grew out of fan-run news sites about the new digital TV services Sky Digital and ONdigital. Hachette Filipacchi UK bought it in 2008, and it is now the largest digital property at Hearst UK.

In 1999: digiNEWS (for Sky) and ONfaq (for ONdigital) launched in January, and merged on 28 February into a network.

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.
