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 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 2010: A year after renaming itself from Xiaonei ('on campus') to Renren ('everyone'), and a year before its New York listing.
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.
