What it does

On reveal: If played in round 5 or later, +3 Power to this card.

On reveal happens once, when the card flips.

It costs 4 RAM to play and brings 6 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 2006

A small Linux distribution built for security and simplicity, using musl, BusyBox and OpenRC in place of the usual GNU tools and systemd.

It began in 2005 as a system for devices such as wireless routers, started by Natanael Copa. Its name is a backronym for something like 'A Linux-Powered Network Engine', though he has forgotten the exact phrase.

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.
