What it does

When you play a card here: +1 Power to your other cards here.

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

It costs 4 RAM to play and brings 7 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

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 2008: Owned by eBay, which had paid $2.6 billion for it in 2005.

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 2008, 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.
