What it does
On reveal: +2 Power to your other cards here.
On reveal happens once, when the card flips.
It costs 3 RAM to play and brings 4 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 1996
The Whole Earth 'Lectronic Link, a members' online community organised into topic conferences, which began as a dial-up system in 1985.
Stewart Brand and Larry Brilliant started it in 1985. The founders of the EFF first met there, Craig Newmark drew on it for Craigslist, and Wired called it the world's most influential online community in 1997.
In 1996: Owned since 1994 by Rockport shoe founder Bruce Katz, who upgraded its systems and hired staff; Salon would buy it in 1999.
Boom era, 1995 to 1998. Netscape, frames, hit counters and animated envelopes. Everyone had a homepage, and every homepage was under construction.
Cult Classics: Small, strange and loved to bits by the people who found them.
