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 1997
A searchable archive of Usenet newsgroup discussions, started in Austin, Texas, by Steve Madere in March 1995.
It became Deja.com in 1999 and turned to product reviews. Google bought its Usenet archive in February 2001 and relaunched it as Google Groups, with posts reaching back to 1981.
Boom era, 1995 to 1998. Netscape, frames, hit counters and animated envelopes. Everyone had a homepage, and every homepage was under construction.
Dead Links: Gone, but not forgotten. Mostly forgotten.
