What it does

On reveal: If played in round 5 or later, +3 Power to this card.

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 2013

A social network for scientists, where researchers share papers, ask and answer questions and look for collaborators.

A 2014 study in Nature found it the largest academic social network by active users. Its user numbers grew from 25,000 in 2009 to more than a million in 2011.

In 2013: Closed a $35 million Series C round in June 2013, with investors including Bill Gates.

Modern era, 2009 on. Phones, feeds and cookie banners. The web got fast, flat and very sure about notifications.

The Establishment: Governments, universities, libraries and archives. Very official.
