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 2005
Baidu's forum system, tied to its search engine: every topic gets its own 'bar', created the first time someone looks for it.
Opened in December 2003, it grew to over 300 million monthly users in the 2010s and more than 23 million bars by 2021, with slang and fan cultures of its own. Use has since fallen by about 90% from that peak.
Web 2.0 era, 2003 to 2008. Rounded corners, reflections and drop shadows. Everything was social, and everything was in beta.
Megacorps: The giants. You've used most of them today.
