What it does

On reveal: +3 Power to a random card in your hand.

On reveal happens once, when the card flips.

It costs 6 RAM to play and brings 12 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 video game news and reviews site, part of Gamer Network.

Its founders included John Bye, Patrick Stokes and Rupert Loman, who had organised the EuroQuake Quake tournament. It dropped its ten-point review scores in 2015, then returned to scoring on a five-point scale in 2023.

In 1999: Launched on 4 September, alongside its parent company, Gamer 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.
