What it does

On reveal: If an enemy card was revealed here earlier this round, +2 Power to this card.

On reveal happens once, when the card flips.

It costs 3 RAM to play and brings 6 Power to its lane. You get 1 RAM in round 1, 2 in round 2, and so on.

Creators cards are strongest on their own, and some only get going late.

The site, in 2005

A swap where you send a postcard to a randomly chosen member somewhere in the world, then receive one back from someone else.

The millionth postcard arrived in April 2008. By October 2026 over 806,000 members in 208 countries had exchanged more than 88 million, and postal services have issued Postcrossing stamps since 2011.

In 2005: Paulo Magalhães started it on 14 July 2005, running it from an old computer in a clothes closet at home.

Web 2.0 era, 2003 to 2008. Rounded corners, reflections and drop shadows. Everything was social, and everything was in beta.

The Long Tail: The niche, the local and the specialist. Most of the web, really.

In the game, this pixel page loads the way it did in 2005, then plays a short scene. Want postcrossing in your deck? Make a free account and open some packs, or try a match first. No sign-up needed for that.
