What it does
Ongoing: If you're losing here, +3 Power to this card.
Ongoing is always on while the card is in play.
It costs 3 RAM to play and brings 4 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 1996
China's largest full-text academic information platform, with databases of journals, conference papers, newspapers and patents.
Led by Tsinghua University, it is a state-backed project. The Chinese Academy of Sciences and Peking University have stopped subscribing, and regulators fined it in 2022 and 2023.
Boom era, 1995 to 1998. Netscape, frames, hit counters and animated envelopes. Everyone had a homepage, and every homepage was under construction.
The Establishment: Governments, universities, libraries and archives. Very official.
