What it does

On reveal: +0 to +4 Power to this card.

On reveal happens once, when the card flips.

It costs 2 RAM to play and brings 2 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 2004

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 2004: Running as Digital Spy since May 2001, on a custom-built content management system called RAMS.

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.
