What it does
On reveal: +2 Power to your other cards here.
On reveal happens once, when the card flips.
It costs 6 RAM to play and brings 10 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 1996
A New York company running popular websites and communities for women, with moderated message boards and chats on parenting, work, health and more.
Candice Carpenter, Nancy Evans and Robert Levitan founded it in 1995. Its March 1999 stock debut valued it at over $2 billion within days; NBCUniversal bought it for $600 million in 2006, and it closed in 2014.
In 1996: Its Parent Soup community ran about 450 scheduled chats a week, and Procter & Gamble dropped its usual pay-per-click terms to advertise there.
Boom era, 1995 to 1998. Netscape, frames, hit counters and animated envelopes. Everyone had a homepage, and every homepage was under construction.
Dead Links: Gone, but not forgotten. Mostly forgotten.
