What it does

On reveal: +0 to +4 Power to this card.

On reveal happens once, when the card flips.

It costs 4 RAM to play and brings 7 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 2008

A music-making app company based in Salt Lake City, whose apps let people play, sing and collaborate on phones and the web.

Founded in 2008 by Jeff Smith and Stanford's Ge Wang, it had 52 million monthly users by 2017. Wang's idea was for people to be making music before they realised it.

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.
