What it does

When you play a card here: +1 Power to this card.

When you play a card here fires each time you add another card to that lane.

It costs 1 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 2003

A program for video and voice calls over the internet, with instant messaging and cheap calls to ordinary phones.

Retired on 5 May 2025, with its website sending people to Microsoft Teams. It had 36 million daily users in February 2023, and most of its development team worked in Estonia.

In 2003: First released on 29 August by Niklas Zennström, Janus Friis and four Estonian developers.

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.

In the game, this pixel page loads the way it did in 2003, then plays a short scene. Want Skype in your deck? Make a free account and open some packs, or try a match first. No sign-up needed for that.
