What it does
On reveal: +1 Power to your other cards here.
On reveal happens once, when the card flips.
It costs 5 RAM to play and brings 9 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
A Chinese database and social network for film, books, music and local events, where users record and review what they watch and read.
It is named after Douban Hutong, a Beijing alley near where founder Yang Bo built it. He began it as a travel site called Lüzong, a one-person project in a Starbucks. It is often compared with IMDb, Rotten Tomatoes and Goodreads.
In 2005: Opened to the public on 6 March. Groups followed two days later, and an English version went into public testing in December.
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 2005 page.
In the game, this pixel page loads the way it did in 2005, then plays a short scene. Want Douban in your deck? Make a free account and open some packs, or try a match first. No sign-up needed for that.
