What it does
On reveal: -1 to +3 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.
Games cards roll the dice. Sometimes the dice roll you.
The site, in 2000
A Go server from South Korea, popular across Asia, where people play the board game online against each other.
Cho Hun-hyun founded it in 2000 as ICBL, and it took the name Tygem in 2001. Eight million positions from games played on Tygem were used to train DeepMind's AlphaGo.
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.
Pixel tribute by dub3, after the 2000 page.
In the game, this pixel page loads the way it did in 2000, then plays a short scene. Want Tygem in your deck? Make a free account and open some packs, or try a match first. No sign-up needed for that.
