What it does

When you play a card here: +1 Power to this card.

When you play a card here fires each time you add another card to that lane.

It costs 1 RAM to play and brings 1 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 social network for readers, who catalogue their books and rate, review and discuss them.

Its name comes from Anobium punctatum, a common bookworm. In 2012 HMV sold its stake to Sainsbury's for £1, and in 2014 the Italian publisher Mondadori bought the company.

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.
