What it does

On reveal: If an enemy card was revealed here earlier this round, +2 Power to this card.

On reveal happens once, when the card flips.

It costs 4 RAM to play and brings 8 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 2004

A South Korean social network where members kept a decorated mini-room and a home page, and linked up as ilchon friends.

In early 2007 it passed 20 million members, about half of South Korea. It earned from dotori, acorns that bought virtual furniture and music. Facebook's arrival in Korea in 2009 began its slide.

In 2004: It had been part of SK since August 2003, and that year its monthly visitors rose from 2 million to 7 million.

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.

In the game, this pixel page loads the way it did in 2004, then plays a short scene. Want Cyworld in your deck? Make a free account and open some packs, or try a match first. No sign-up needed for that.
