What it does

On reveal: -1 to +3 Power to this card.

On reveal happens once, when the card flips.

It costs 4 RAM to play and brings 8 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 2013

A site where developers host, sell and download indie games, game assets, comics, zines and music.

Leaf Corcoran launched it in March 2013, and by November 2024 it hosted over a million products. It also runs game jams and lets creators sell their work together in bundles.

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.
