What it does

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

On reveal happens once, when the card flips.

It costs 2 RAM to play and brings 3 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 review aggregator that linked to scores from other sites and magazines and averaged them as percentages.

It indexed over 315,000 articles on more than 14,500 games, and used a plain mean with no weighting. It closed on 9 December 2019, when its address began redirecting to Metacritic.

In 1999: Founded this year.

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.

Dead Links: Gone, but not forgotten. Mostly forgotten.
