What it does

On reveal: If played in round 5 or later, +3 Power to this card.

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 2010

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.

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.
