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 2009

A Russian social news site where users post links, images, gifs and videos, and the community votes on them.

Maxim Khryashchev founded it on 1 August 2009 to build a Russian answer to Reddit. By February 2023 Similarweb ranked it 22nd in Russia and 283rd in the world.

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.
