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 2000
A London-based forum where parents share advice and argue about everything from sleep to schools, also known for webchats with politicians.
Justine Roberts set it up in 2000 with Carrie Longton and Steven Cassidy. In November 2009 Gordon Brown and David Cameron both took live webchats there, and the Guardian called the 2010 vote the 'Mumsnet election'.
In 2000: Built this year by Justine Roberts and two friends, after a disastrous first holiday with her one-year-old twins.
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.
