What it does

On reveal: +1 Power to your other cards here.

On reveal happens once, when the card flips.

It costs 3 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 2006

A social site for books where members built virtual bookshelves, rated and reviewed titles, and joined discussion groups.

Launched on 11 October 2006, with Amazon investing $1 million in 2007 and buying it in 2008. It was merged into Goodreads in 2016, and its web addresses now redirect there.

Web 2.0 era, 2003 to 2008. Rounded corners, reflections and drop shadows. Everything was social, and everything was in beta.

Dead Links: Gone, but not forgotten. Mostly forgotten.
