What it does
On reveal: +3 Power to a random card in your hand.
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 video game review aggregation site from IGN Entertainment, tracking review scores and popularity for more than 23,000 games.
IGN Entertainment launched it in February 2004. Its score combined critics' reviews with reader opinion, and a daily popularity number came from wish lists, forums and page views.
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.
