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 2009

A social network for Brazilian readers, where members keep a virtual bookshelf of what they have read, are reading or want to read.

Its name is 'books' spelled backwards. Launched in January 2009 by the developer Lindenberg Moreira, it had over 1.2 million users by January 2012, and ran no advertising.

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.
