What it does

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

On reveal happens once, when the card flips.

It costs 5 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 1997

A Russian website about computers and digital technology, with news, reviews and hardware tests.

Andrei Kuzin started it on 17 July 1997, making it one of the first Russian technology sites. It added computer games to its coverage in the early 2000s.

Boom era, 1995 to 1998. Netscape, frames, hit counters and animated envelopes. Everyone had a homepage, and every homepage was under construction.

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