What it does

On reveal: +1 Power to your cards in other lanes.

On reveal happens once, when the card flips.

It costs 4 RAM to play and brings 5 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 social cataloguing site for music, where members rate albums out of five stars, review them and build lists.

Ratings are pooled into community charts, and the site has been tied to the online rise of some artists and albums. It added films in May 2009.

In 2005: Still wearing its original 'RYM 1.0' look, which lasted until a redesign in August 2006.

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.
