What it does

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

On reveal happens once, when the card flips.

It costs 3 RAM to play and brings 4 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 2010

A nonprofit, user-owned social network made of independently run servers, called pods, that work together.

Four New York University students, Dan Grippi, Maxwell Salzberg, Raphael Sofaer and Ilya Zhitomirskiy, raised over $200,000 on Kickstarter to build it. An alpha version was released on 23 November 2010.

Modern era, 2009 on. Phones, feeds and cookie banners. The web got fast, flat and very sure about notifications.

The Long Tail: The niche, the local and the specialist. Most of the web, really.
