What it does
On reveal: +2 Power to your other cards here.
On reveal happens once, when the card flips.
It costs 3 RAM to play and brings 4 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 social network run by Tencent that used real names, first called QQ Xiaoyou, meaning QQ Alumni.
Founded in August 2008 to compete with Renren, with photos synced to Qzone. Companies could have fans there. It shut on 6 August 2017, came back briefly as an app in December 2019, and closed again on 30 June 2021.
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.
