What it does

On reveal: +1 Power to your other cards here.

On reveal happens once, when the card flips.

It costs 3 RAM to play and brings 5 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 2003

A social bookmarking site where you saved web links, labelled them with your own tags and browsed what everyone else had saved under the same tag.

Joshua Schachter and Peter Gadjokov founded it in 2003, growing it out of Schachter's link blog Muxway. It was among the first sites to let users tag freely, claimed 5.3 million users by 2008, and closed after Pinboard bought it in 2017.

In 2003: Schachter released the first version in September as a side project; he only quit his day job for it in March 2005.

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.
