What it does
On reveal: +2 Power to your cards in other lanes.
On reveal happens once, when the card flips.
It costs 4 RAM to play and brings 1 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 2009
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 2009: On 27 October Google released a second redesign, rebuilt with Google Web Toolkit and billed as faster, simpler and easier to customise.
Modern era, 2009 on. Phones, feeds and cookie banners. The web got fast, flat and very sure about notifications.
Dead Links: Gone, but not forgotten. Mostly forgotten.
