What it does

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

On reveal happens once, when the card flips.

It costs 2 RAM to play and brings 3 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 1995

An early online community started by two Cornell students, which became one of the best-known symbols of the dot-com bubble.

Stephan Paternot and Todd Krizelman put it online on 1 April 1995. Its November 1998 IPO closed 606% up on the first day, a record at the time, and by 2001 the shares had fallen below 10 cents.

In 1995: Went live on 1 April and drew over 44,000 visits in its first month.

Boom era, 1995 to 1998. Netscape, frames, hit counters and animated envelopes. Everyone had a homepage, and every homepage was under construction.

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