What it does

On reveal: +0 to +4 Power to this card.

On reveal happens once, when the card flips.

It costs 1 RAM to play and brings 0 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 2011

An online platform of high-resolution images of artworks and cultural objects from museums and other organisations around the world.

It began in 2011 as the Google Art Project, which let you tour the galleries of its partners and zoom in close on the works.

Modern era, 2009 on. Phones, feeds and cookie banners. The web got fast, flat and very sure about notifications.

The Long Tail: The niche, the local and the specialist. Most of the web, really.
