What it does

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

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 1997

The website of a German monthly PC gaming magazine, the best-selling German-language title on PC games.

GameStar.de is the largest PC gaming portal in the German-speaking internet. Until April 2026 each issue came with a DVD of demos, mods and a full game.

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.
