What it does

On reveal: +4 Power to a random card in your hand.

On reveal happens once, when the card flips.

It costs 6 RAM to play and brings 11 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 video game news and features site, part of Gamer Network, the British company behind Eurogamer.

It began in 2008, in a partnership between Eurogamer Network and Patrick Garratt. After USgamer closed in 2020, some of its articles moved here. ReedPop bought Gamer Network in 2018 and sold it to IGN Entertainment in 2024.

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.
