What it does

On reveal: If played in round 5 or later, +3 Power to this card.

On reveal happens once, when the card flips.

It costs 4 RAM to play and brings 6 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 2018

A falling-sand toy in the browser: pour sand, water and fire, plant seeds and watch them all react.

Max Bittker began it in October 2018, writing it in Rust and WebAssembly, and Google featured it in its Experiments gallery in January 2019. There is no goal, only the pleasure of making a glorious mess.

Modern era, 2009 on. Phones, feeds and cookie banners. The web got fast, flat and very sure about notifications.

Cult Classics: Small, strange and loved to bits by the people who found them.
