What it does
On reveal: +2 Power to your other cards here.
On reveal happens once, when the card flips.
It costs 6 RAM to play and brings 10 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
A Hong Kong humour site where users upload and share images and videos, or bring them in from other sites.
The name is said to come from Cantonese, where it sounds like 'gou gag', meaning to crack a joke. After the 500 Startups and Y Combinator programmes it reached 70 million unique visitors a month.
In 2008: Launched on 11 April, co-founded by a group of Hong Kongers that included the University of Hong Kong student Ray Chan.
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.
