What it does
On reveal: +0 to +4 Power to this card.
On reveal happens once, when the card flips.
It costs 2 RAM to play and brings 2 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 1991
A multiplayer text role-playing game written in 1990 and 1991 in the computer science department of the University of Copenhagen.
Inspired by AberMUD and close in spirit to Dungeons & Dragons, it became one of the first multi-user games to spread as a freely available program. Most DikuMUDs are hack and slash.
Pioneer era, up to 1994. Grey pages, blue links and a browser called Mosaic. Images were optional. So was colour.
The Long Tail: The niche, the local and the specialist. Most of the web, really.
