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 2001
A Russian-language video game website, started in February 2001 as a fan site for multiplayer gaming and esports.
By 2004, with help from the Moscow provider Ropnet, it was Russia's biggest store of game files such as mods and patches. It added blogs in 2009 and a user-edited game wiki in 2014.
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.
