What it does

On reveal: +2 Power to your other cards here.

On reveal happens once, when the card flips.

It costs 4 RAM to play and brings 6 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 2011

A Toronto-based site for reading and publishing original fiction, and for meeting other writers and readers.

Some stories first posted here became books, TV series and films, including After and The Kissing Booth. By September 2023 it had more than 90 million users. Naver bought it in 2021.

In 2011: Announced $3.5 million in funding from investors including Union Square Ventures, and was named the hottest digital media company in Canada that December.

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.
