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 2005
A Chinese social network, once popular with students and often compared to Facebook, that began as Xiaonei, meaning 'on campus'.
At first users could only join from college IP addresses, to encourage real names. It listed on the New York Stock Exchange in April 2011, and in December 2024 the site was taken down without warning.
In 2005: Founded in December 2005 as Xiaonei by students from Tsinghua and Tianjin universities, including Wang Xing and Wang Huiwen.
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 Renren in your deck? Make a free account and open some packs, or try a match first. No sign-up needed for that.
