What it does

On reveal: +3 Power to a random card in your hand.

On reveal happens once, when the card flips.

It costs 2 RAM to play and brings 3 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 2001

A group of Polish websites about computer games, founded by Mariusz Klamra, Wojciech Antonowicz and Rafał Swaczyna.

It grew to include GRYOnline.pl, TVGry.pl, Gameplay.pl and Gamepressure. In 2017 Empik sold it to the German branch of the French publisher Webedia, which was entering the Polish market.

Dot-com era, 1999 to 2002. Glossy buttons, big money and a bug called Y2K. Some of these companies were worth billions for about a fortnight.

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