What it does

On reveal: +1 Power to your other cards here.

On reveal happens once, when the card flips.

It costs 3 RAM to play and brings 5 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 live video and social network that began as a voice chat tool for online gamers.

Users traded 'virtual roses' that could be turned into cash, with top users said to earn up to $20,000 a month. It listed on Nasdaq in 2012, and in 2025 Baidu bought its livestreaming arm for about $2.1 billion.

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.
