What it does

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

On reveal happens once, when the card flips.

It costs 6 RAM to play and brings 12 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 2011

A social cataloguing site where readers list the books they own and want, rate and review them, and join book groups.

Otis Chandler wanted to recreate browsing a friend's bookshelf, and he and Elizabeth Khuri Chandler founded it in 2006. Amazon bought it in 2013. By September 2023 it had over 150 million members.

In 2011: Bought the book recommendation engine Discovereads and passed five million members.

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

Megacorps: The giants. You've used most of them today.
