What it does
On reveal: +4 Power to a random card in your hand.
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 1999
A video game news and business site that AOL bought in 2006, retired in 2011 and relaunched as GameDaily.biz in 2018.
It began as an independent daily industry newsletter. Gigex, a San Francisco company founded in 1995 for game downloads, bought it in May 2004, and AOL bought it from Gigex in August 2006.
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.
