What it does
On reveal: +4 Power to a random card in your hand.
On reveal happens once, when the card flips.
It costs 6 RAM to play and brings 11 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 2003
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 2003: By January it had outgrown its first web host, Yahoo, as Strong Bad Emails drew a growing audience.
Web 2.0 era, 2003 to 2008. Rounded corners, reflections and drop shadows. Everything was social, and everything was in beta.
Cult Classics: Small, strange and loved to bits by the people who found them.
