What it does
On reveal: +1 Power to your other cards here.
On reveal happens once, when the card flips.
It costs 4 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 2008
A list of 'predatory' open-access publishers, kept on a blog by the University of Colorado Denver librarian Jeffrey Beall.
Begun as a personal project in 2008, it was widely followed by the mid-2010s, with researchers using it to flag publishers said to skip proper peer review. Beall removed it from his blog in January 2017.
Web 2.0 era, 2003 to 2008. Rounded corners, reflections and drop shadows. Everything was social, and everything was in beta.
Dead Links: Gone, but not forgotten. Mostly forgotten.
