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 2010

A social network and microblog for 15-second videos, called touts, spun out of the research institute SRI International.

Basketball star Shaquille O'Neal used it to announce his retirement in June 2011. By early 2012 it had had over 12 million visitors and users had shared 75 million touts.

Modern era, 2009 on. Phones, feeds and cookie banners. The web got fast, flat and very sure about notifications.

The Long Tail: The niche, the local and the specialist. Most of the web, really.
