What it does

No ability.

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

It costs 4 RAM to play and brings 8 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 2006

Open-source web software that lets researchers share, preserve, cite, explore and analyse their data.

Each dataset gets a persistent identifier such as a DOI, so authors, publishers and institutions all receive credit through a data citation. It won a Duke's Choice Award in 2019.

Web 2.0 era, 2003 to 2008. Rounded corners, reflections and drop shadows. Everything was social, and everything was in beta.

The Establishment: Governments, universities, libraries and archives. Very official.
