was Artifact the only game which took advantage of the more advanced features of Steam Chat, such as open game joining and group chats for group play sessions?

An intricately carved ivory home shrine having oblong shikhar (top portion of the temple), canopy, front opened garbh ghar (centre portion for keeping idol) placed on two-stepped square wooden platform rests on artistically carved paw-shaped legs. To make smooth movement of this huge shrine, small wheels have been placed intelligently in the inner portion of the legs. A row of tiny bells around abacus of the canopy, bracket figurines on sides and small jharokhas (balcony) on the upper portions of the shrine reminds the Rajasthan palaces' architecture. The size and its grandeur look give the impression that probably this home shrine belongs to the royal family of Rajasthan or Delhi belong to 18th-19th century AD.

The Assassin’s Teapot is a clever ancient Chinese invention designed to pour two different liquids—one safe, one deadly—used to secretly poison enemies without suspicion.

The image features an intricately decorated ostrich egg. The egg's surface is textured and dark, providing a rich backdrop for the detailed artwork. The central focus is a rooster, depicted in a golden hue, with its feathers and tail feathers intricately detailed. Surrounding the rooster are golden leaves and flowers, adding to the naturalistic theme. A white flower stands out among the golden foliage, providing a contrast in color. The overall design is symmetrical, with the rooster positioned centrally, and the surrounding elements arranged to create a balanced composition. The craftsmanship is evident in the fine details and the use of gold and white inlays, highlighting the rooster and floral elements against the dark background.

3rd century BC mosaic excavated in the ancient city of Antioch. The skeleton leaning against a wine jug and a serving of bread, holding a glass with a bone in one hand, has a simple message to its viewers: "Be cheerful, enjoy life."

The image depicts a mosaic featuring a skeleton reclining on a cushion, with its right arm raised and holding a small cup. The skeleton is centrally positioned against a dark background, with the text "ΕΥΦΟΡΟΥ ΕΥΝΟΕ" above it, rendered in white mosaic tiles. To the left of the skeleton, there is a depiction of a red vase with a narrow neck and a golden circular object, possibly representing bread or a flower. The mosaic is framed by a brown border, and the overall color scheme includes black, white, red, and gold. The skeleton's ribcage and skull are clearly defined, and the mosaic tiles are small and meticulously arranged to create the image.

Almost 2,000 years old Roman children's shoes. The object was found in the ruins of Palmyra (central Syria).

The image shows two small, burnt shoes displayed in clear plastic cases. The shoes appear to be made of leather and are significantly damaged, with large holes and frayed edges. The left shoe has a visible lace loop and shows signs of wear and tear, including a burnt interior. The right shoe has a similar design with multiple holes and a burnt exterior. Both shoes are held by a person's hand, with the fingers visible in the background. The shoes are presented in a way that suggests they are artifacts or historical items, possibly for preservation or display purposes.
