What it does
On reveal: +1 Power to your other cards here.
On reveal happens once, when the card flips.
It costs 5 RAM to play and brings 9 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 1999
A question-and-answer site with tens of millions of questions and answers written by its users.
Bill Gross and Henrik Jones of idealab bought the domain name in 1996. The service began as GuruNet and ran for a time as WikiAnswers before taking the Answers.com name.
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.
