What it does

On reveal: +1 Power to your other cards here.

On reveal happens once, when the card flips.

It costs 5 RAM to play and brings 9 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 2008

A phone and computer app that gathered several chat services into one place, and sold cheap calls.

It claimed 150 million users in 200 countries by March 2013. In October 2014 New Call bought 70 per cent of it, at a valuation of $250 million, when it had passed 200 million users.

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.
