What it does

On reveal: -1 to +3 Power to this card.

On reveal happens once, when the card flips.

It costs 4 RAM to play and brings 8 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 2016

A multiplayer browser game in which you steer a snake, eating coloured pellets to grow as long as you can.

Developed by Steve Howse, it followed Agar.io. YouTubers including PewDiePie promoted it, and by July 2016 Alexa ranked it among the 1,000 most visited websites.

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

The Long Tail: The niche, the local and the specialist. Most of the web, really.
