What it does

On reveal: +1 Power to your cards in other lanes.

On reveal happens once, when the card flips.

It costs 4 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 2014

A social network created by Paul Budnitz and Todd Berger in March 2014.

It promised no ads and no selling of members' data, and at its peak in 2014 it handled more than 30,000 sign-up requests an hour. By July 2023 it had shut down.

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.
