What it does
When you play a card here: +1 Power to this card.
When you play a card here fires each time you add another card to that lane.
It costs 1 RAM to play and brings 1 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 2013
A commercial site where researchers share their academic papers, free to read but with uploads and downloads limited to registered users.
It sits on a .edu address registered in 1999, before that ending was reserved for schools and colleges. By 2026 it had over 300 million registered users and more than 55 million papers.
In 2013: Elsevier sent thousands of takedown notices over papers posted there, then withdrew the request after researchers complained.
Modern era, 2009 on. Phones, feeds and cookie banners. The web got fast, flat and very sure about notifications.
The Establishment: Governments, universities, libraries and archives. Very official.
