What it does
On reveal: If you already have another Games card here, +3 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 2001
A site that gathers critics' reviews of games, films, TV shows and music and averages them into a single score.
Scores are weighted and colour-coded green, yellow or red. It won two Webby Awards and is the main review aggregator for video games. Some publishers have used its scores to decide whether developers get extra payments.
In 2001: Launched in January by Marc Doyle, his sister Julie Doyle Roberts and their law-school friend Jason Dietz, after two years of work.
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.
Megacorps: The giants. You've used most of them today.
