What it does

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

On reveal happens once, when the card flips.

It costs 3 RAM to play and brings 5 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 2008

The largest Arabic-language online database of film, theatre and television, with biographies, news and reviews.

Damlag SAE, an Egyptian telecoms company, launched it in 2008. It covers Arab and international works back to early cinema, and runs in Arabic and English.

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.
