What it does
When you play a card here: +1 Power to this card.
When you play a card here fires each time you add another card to that lane.
It costs 1 RAM to play and brings 1 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 2008
A German career network where professionals build contacts, join groups and find jobs, started in Hamburg as OPEN Business Club.
It floated on the stock exchange in December 2006, the first Web 2.0 company to go public in Europe, and had 16 million members by April 2019. Since 2012 it has concentrated on the German-speaking world.
In 2008: Two years under the new name, with a job marketplace opened in October 2007. Lars Hinrichs still led the company.
Web 2.0 era, 2003 to 2008. Rounded corners, reflections and drop shadows. Everything was social, and everything was in beta.
The Long Tail: The niche, the local and the specialist. Most of the web, really.
Pixel tribute by dub3, after the 2008 page.
In the game, this pixel page loads the way it did in 2008, then plays a short scene. Want XING in your deck? Make a free account and open some packs, or try a match first. No sign-up needed for that.
