What it does

On reveal: +4 Power to a random card in your hand.

On reveal happens once, when the card flips.

It costs 3 RAM to play and brings 4 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 hosting site for free and commercial video games that grew into a social platform for gamers and creators.

Yaprak and David DeCarmine founded it. Members share pictures, videos and live streams, and chat in rooms. It has apps for iOS, Android, Windows and Linux.

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.
