What it does
On reveal: +2 Power to your other cards here.
On reveal happens once, when the card flips.
It costs 5 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 2016
A social video app where friends dropped into group video chats, made by Life On Air and launched in 2016.
It told you when friends were online, so chats started on the spur of the moment, with up to eight people at once. Ben Rubin founded Life On Air. Epic Games bought it in 2019 and closed the app in October 2021.
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.
