What it does

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

On reveal happens once, when the card flips.

It costs 4 RAM to play and brings 6 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 2000

One of the earliest online diary sites, where members got their own page, chose a template and linked each other's diaries as buddies.

Andrew Smales, who had earlier made the weblog service Pitas, launched it in September 1999 for people who did not know HTML. By 2001 it had about 175,000 users, roughly two thirds of them teenagers.

In 2000: A year old. It had started with 4,600 active members by December 1999, adding about 100 a day, mostly by word of mouth.

Dot-com era, 1999 to 2002. Glossy buttons, big money and a bug called Y2K. Some of these companies were worth billions for about a fortnight.

Under Construction: Homepages, fan shrines and the GIFs that decorated them.
