What it does
On reveal: +2 Power to your other cards here.
On reveal happens once, when the card flips.
It costs 2 RAM to play and brings 2 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
A site for organising local groups and events, so people with the same interests, hobbies or jobs can meet in person.
Scott Heiferman and four others founded it in New York in 2002. It now has 60 million users, and has changed hands three times: WeWork in 2017, AlleyCorp in 2020 and Bending Spoons in 2024.
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.
The Long Tail: The niche, the local and the specialist. Most of the web, really.
Pixel tribute by dub3, after the 2002 page.
In the game, this pixel page loads the way it did in 2002, then plays a short scene. Want Meetup.com in your deck? Make a free account and open some packs, or try a match first. No sign-up needed for that.
