What it does
No ability.
No ability, just Power. Sometimes that's all a homepage needs.
It costs 1 RAM to play and brings 2 Power to its lane. You get 1 RAM in round 1, 2 in round 2, and so on.
Institutions cards protect your side, and come back strong when you're losing.
The site, in 2009
The wiki of Archive Team, a loose group of volunteers who copy at-risk websites and online services before they shut down.
Jason Scott co-founded it in 2009. It has saved much of GeoCities, Friendster, Google Video and Yahoo! Video, usually passing copies to the Internet Archive's Wayback Machine; Scott says it runs on rage, paranoia and kleptomania.
In 2009: Co-founded this year by Jason Scott.
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.
