What it does

On reveal: Add a copy of this card to your hand.

The copy is a fresh card, ready to play.

It costs 1 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 2000

A Flash cartoon site by brothers Mike and Matt Chapman, starring a cast of odd characters in the town of Free Country, USA.

Strong Bad answering fans' emails became the main draw from August 2001. Merchandise sales paid for the site and the brothers' living costs. New cartoons paused in 2010 and now come only occasionally.

In 2000: Launched on New Year's Day, with Homestar Runner and Strong Bad competing in short cartoons.

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.

Cult Classics: Small, strange and loved to bits by the people who found them.
