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 1998

A German-language website with tips, news and reviews for computer games. The name means 'game tips'.

Thorsten Rühl began it as an independent project in 1998. Readers could send in their own tips, which editors checked before publishing. GIGA Digital bought it in 2015, and it went offline without warning on 31 October 2023.

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.
