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 2002

A website for video game mods, where fans share and download the changes they have built for games.

Scott Reismanis, who is known online as INtense, founded it in 2002. By August 2026 it had hosted over 382 million downloads of more than 36,000 mods. Its dark red look has barely changed since 2008.

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.
