What it does

On reveal: If played in round 5 or later, +3 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 2004

A games network that began with a Quake server finder and grew into multiplayer matchmaking software and news sites, founded by Mark Surfas.

By 2014 over 800 game publishers and developers had used its multiplayer services. Its service platform was shut down on 31 May 2014.

In 2004: IGN and GameSpy Industries announced their merger in December 2003 and completed it in March 2004.

Web 2.0 era, 2003 to 2008. Rounded corners, reflections and drop shadows. Everything was social, and everything was in beta.

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