What it does
On reveal: +1 Power to your other cards here.
On reveal happens once, when the card flips.
It costs 4 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 1999
A free hosted message-board service: webmasters with little experience could set up a forum, pick a template and colours, and link it from their site.
Vanchau Nguyen built it in Smalltalk with no relational database. At its 2001 peak it ranked among the world's 50 most popular sites; a May 2005 attack wiped many boards, and from 2008 all of them moved to its successor, Yuku.
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.
Dead Links: Gone, but not forgotten. Mostly forgotten.
