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 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 2004
Google's social network for finding friends and keeping up with them, created by the Google engineer Orkut Büyükkökten and named after him.
It was among the most visited sites in Brazil and India in 2008, and Google ran it from Brazil. Google closed it on 30 September 2014. In 2022 the domain came back with a letter from its founder.
In 2004: Launched quietly on 22 January by Orkut Büyükkökten, who built it as a side project while working at Google.
Web 2.0 era, 2003 to 2008. Rounded corners, reflections and drop shadows. Everything was social, and everything was in beta.
Dead Links: Gone, but not forgotten. Mostly forgotten.
Pixel tribute by dub3, after the 2004 page.
In the game, this pixel page loads the way it did in 2004, then plays a short scene. Want Orkut in your deck? Make a free account and open some packs, or try a match first. No sign-up needed for that.
