What it does
On reveal: -3 Power to the strongest enemy card here.
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.
Tech cards bend the rules: more RAM, cheaper cards and patches that weaken the other side.
The site, in 1998
The email service of Mail.ru, one of Russia's big internet companies.
Pochta is the Russian word for mail, so the name says it twice. Mail.ru began in 1998 as a free email service, and its parent company was renamed VK in October 2021.
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.
