What it does
On reveal: +2 Power to your other cards here.
On reveal happens once, when the card flips.
It costs 5 RAM to play and brings 7 Power to its lane. You get 1 RAM in round 1, 2 in round 2, and so on.
Social cards lift the cards around them, here and in the other lanes.
The site, in 2008
An internet radio and social site where members made and shared playlists of at least eight tracks.
Time put it on its 2011 list of the 50 best websites. It closed on 31 December 2019 over funding and royalty costs, relaunched under BackBeat Inc. in April 2020, and by December 2024 was inactive.
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.
