What it does
On reveal: +3 Power to a random card in your hand.
On reveal happens once, when the card flips.
It costs 6 RAM to play and brings 12 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 2001
A fantasy online role-playing game played in the browser, set in the medieval world of Gielinor and made by Andrew Gower and his brother Paul.
It began in 2001 on a server in the Gower family home in Nottingham. Guinness World Records lists it as the MMO with the most users, and over 300 million accounts have been made across the franchise.
In 2001: Released as a beta on 4 January, run from the Gowers' home. Jagex, the company behind it, was not formed until December.
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.
Cult Classics: Small, strange and loved to bits by the people who found them.
