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 2003
Linden Lab's 3D virtual world, where people make avatars, meet, and build, buy and sell almost everything in it, paying in Linden Dollars.
Philip Rosedale's Linden Lab opened it on 23 June 2003. By 2006 residents traded virtual goods worth hundreds of thousands of dollars a day, and Anshe Chung became its first real-world millionaire. It is often cited as the first example of the metaverse.
In 2003: Opened to the public on 23 June, after Linden Lab turned its earlier project, Linden World, into a world built by its users.
Web 2.0 era, 2003 to 2008. Rounded corners, reflections and drop shadows. Everything was social, and everything was in beta.
Cult Classics: Small, strange and loved to bits by the people who found them.
