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 2012

An ad-free social network and microblogging service where posts could run to 256 characters.

Dalton Caldwell started it after a crowdfunding drive in 2012, for a paid alternative to Twitter with no adverts. Member subscriptions paid for it, and it closed in March 2017.

Modern era, 2009 on. Phones, feeds and cookie banners. The web got fast, flat and very sure about notifications.

The Long Tail: The niche, the local and the specialist. Most of the web, really.
