What it does
On reveal: +2 Power to your cards in other lanes.
On reveal happens once, when the card flips.
It costs 3 RAM to play and brings 1 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 2002
An instant messenger whose name means I Seek You, built by the Israeli company Mirabilis.
It was the first widely adopted instant messenger, and its one-to-one chats between personal accounts set the pattern for later services such as AIM. AOL bought it in 1998. It shut down on 26 June 2024.
In 2002: Owned by AOL and just past its peak of more than 100 million registered accounts, around 2001.
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.
