What it does

On reveal: +2 Power to your other cards here.

On reveal happens once, when the card flips.

It costs 5 RAM to play and brings 7 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 2014

A place to save web clippings and uploads as 'blocks' and gather them into 'channels' for research and idea-gathering.

Its makers built it as an ad-free alternative to social networks, with no likes, favourites or shares. They cite hypertext projects such as Ted Nelson's Xanadu as its forerunners.

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.
