What it does
On reveal: If you already have another Social card here, +3 Power to this card.
On reveal happens once, when the card flips.
It costs 3 RAM to play and brings 5 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 2005
A volunteer-edited open database of music: artists, albums, tracks and how they connect, run by the MetaBrainz Foundation.
Founded in response to restrictions on CDDB, the database that named your CDs. Its core data has been public domain since 2003. By May 2026 it held over 38 million recordings.
In 2005: Its database had passed a million tracks. Robert Kaye had handed the project to the non-profit MetaBrainz Foundation in December 2004.
Web 2.0 era, 2003 to 2008. Rounded corners, reflections and drop shadows. Everything was social, and everything was in beta.
Cult Classics: Small, strange and loved to bits by the people who found them.
