What it does
On reveal: +1 Power to your other cards here.
On reveal happens once, when the card flips.
It costs 4 RAM to play and brings 7 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 2003
A social network based in Hong Kong, aimed at users in China.
Jeffrey Ng launched it in December 2003. It was one of the few international social networks with a Chinese Internet Content Provider licence, and reported 26 million users in 2013. Twoo had bought it by 2020; Twoo closed in 2022.
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.
