What it does

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

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 2007

A Russian-language website about video games and other kinds of entertainment.

Gadzhi Makhtiev started it in 2007 as a social network for gamers. In 2019 he bought the games magazine Igromania, and the two sites together reached about 11 million unique visitors a month.

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.
