What it does

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

On reveal happens once, when the card flips.

It costs 3 RAM to play and brings 5 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

A Russian video game magazine, now online only, published in Moscow for readers across Russia and the CIS.

Founded in September 1997, it began mostly as walkthroughs and guides. Its June 2009 circulation of 190,000 copies was called the largest in Europe. Print ended in 2019.

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.
