What it does

On reveal: +2 Power to your other cards here.

On reveal happens once, when the card flips.

It costs 6 RAM to play and brings 10 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 2005

A health website where people with long-term conditions share their experiences and records with other patients.

It has over 830,000 members with more than 2,900 conditions, including ALS, MS and epilepsy. Patients' own data is counted and compared, to show how lifestyle, treatments and circumstances affect health.

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.
