What it does
On reveal: +1 Power to your other cards here.
On reveal happens once, when the card flips.
It costs 2 RAM to play and brings 3 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 British instant messenger founded in Newcastle in 2006 by the student Martin Rosinski, later renamed WOLF, the World's Online Festival.
It first mixed text chat with walkie-talkie style voice messages. By December 2014 it counted 35 million users. In 2020 it became WOLF, whose Qanawat app serves Arabic speakers and is run from London.
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.
