What it does
On reveal: +1 Power to your other cards here.
On reveal happens once, when the card flips.
It costs 6 RAM to play and brings 12 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 2014
A shared Unix server where members got an account and a hand-made web page at tilde.club/~username, in the style of old university home pages.
Paul Ford set it up on a cloud server one night in 2014 and woke to find 100 people asking for accounts. It inspired a number of similar 'tilde boxes' run by others.
In 2014: Launched this year on an Amazon cloud computer running a Unix system.
Modern era, 2009 on. Phones, feeds and cookie banners. The web got fast, flat and very sure about notifications.
Under Construction: Homepages, fan shrines and the GIFs that decorated them.
Pixel tribute by dub3, after the 2014 page.
