What it does

No ability.

No ability, just Power. Sometimes that's all a homepage needs.

It costs 3 RAM to play and brings 6 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 2012

A database of bacteria and archaea at the strain level, covering names, shape, growth, habitat and gene sequences.

Hosted by the Leibniz Institute DSMZ in Germany, it held 99,392 strains in 2025, including 21,168 type strains. It was named a Global Core Biodata Resource in 2022.

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.
