What it does

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

On reveal happens once, when the card flips.

It costs 3 RAM to play and brings 4 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 2008

The online account and community service for Rockstar Games' titles, handling player profiles, multiplayer and sign-in.

It opened in April 2008 alongside Grand Theft Auto IV, with clubs, leaderboards and sign-up through an Xbox LIVE or PSN ID. In 2019 it was tied to the new Rockstar Games Launcher on Windows.

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.
