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 1995

The Perl community's online library of free code modules, with documentation, copied to mirror servers around the world.

Conceived in 1993 and online since October 1995, it is modelled on CTAN, the TeX archive. It now holds more than 220,000 modules written by over 14,500 contributors.

In 1995: Online from October, built to gather the scattered Perl archives into one tidy place.

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.
