What it does

Arrives with a shield. Ongoing: While this card keeps its shield, +2 Power to this card.

Ongoing is always on while the card is in play.

It costs 2 RAM to play and brings 3 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 2013

A free preprint server where biologists post papers before peer review, co-founded by John Inglis and Richard Sever.

Launched in November 2013 and hosted by Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory until 2025, when the nonprofit openRxiv took over. It is pronounced 'bio-archive'. About two-thirds of its papers are later published in journals.

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.
