What it does
On reveal: +1 Power to your other cards here.
On reveal happens once, when the card flips.
It costs 6 RAM to play and brings 12 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 Chinese social network whose name means Happy Net, launched in March 2008.
In 2009 it sued the company behind its rival Renren over a kaixin.com clone site. In October 2011 a Beijing court ordered that company to stop using the domain and pay 400,000 renminbi.
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.
