What it does

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

On reveal happens once, when the card flips.

It costs 5 RAM to play and brings 8 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 online games community with browser games in Flash and Java, known in Finland as aapeli.com.

Created in 2002, it was one of the most popular game sites in Finland and was offered in several languages. It closed its website on 7 January 2019.

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.
