What it does

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

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 South Korean online game portal with casual board and card games as well as shooters and online role-playing games, each with avatars and community features.

Launched in December 1999, it became South Korea's largest game portal, with over 20 million members. Its company was renamed NHN in 2001 and split from Naver in 2013; a Japanese Hangame opened in 2000.

In 1999: Launched in December as the online game service of Hangame Communications.

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.
