What it does

On reveal: +3 Power to a random card in your hand.

On reveal happens once, when the card flips.

It costs 6 RAM to play and brings 12 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 2007

A Russian-language website about computer and mobile games, the games offshoot of the technology site iXBT.com.

It opened in 2007 as GAMETECH, at gametech.ru, a spin-off of the games section of iXBT.com, and later took the name IXBT Games.

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.
