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 2005
A website, and once a print magazine, about mobile, portable and handheld games.
Steel Media launched it in 2005. It covers iPhone, iPad, Android and Nintendo Switch games, and led to the trade site PocketGamer.biz and the Pocket Gamer Connects conferences.
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.
