What it does

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

On reveal happens once, when the card flips.

It costs 2 RAM to play and brings 1 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 2011

A Russian video-sharing site, started in 2006 by two entrepreneurs from Oryol and often called Russia's answer to YouTube.

Gazprom Media took control of it in 2008. Its audience grew from 7.7 million in January 2022 to over 50 million by that March.

In 2011: Owned by Gazprom Media. It added paid live football streams in September, and in October ended its user streaming service.

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

The Long Tail: The niche, the local and the specialist. Most of the web, really.
