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 2006

A volunteer-run site where people keep scored lists of the anime and manga they have watched and read.

Garrett Gyssler started it in 2004 as AnimeList and added 'My' to the name after Myspace. By 2015 it was getting 120 million visits a month.

In 2006: Still run by Gyssler alone, as it was until 2008.

Web 2.0 era, 2003 to 2008. Rounded corners, reflections and drop shadows. Everything was social, and everything was in beta.

The Long Tail: The niche, the local and the specialist. Most of the web, really.
