What it does

On reveal: +4 Power to a random card in your hand.

On reveal happens once, when the card flips.

It costs 4 RAM to play and brings 6 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 Finnish video games magazine and website, published 11 times a year by H-Town. Its name means 'Gamer' or 'Player'.

It turned 15 in 2017. From 2003 to 2007 it covered only consoles, and PC games went to a sister magazine, PCPelaaja, now defunct.

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.
