What it does

On reveal: +2 Power to your other cards here.

On reveal happens once, when the card flips.

It costs 6 RAM to play and brings 10 Power to its lane. You get 1 RAM in round 1, 2 in round 2, and so on.

Social cards lift the cards around them, here and in the other lanes.

The site, in 2013

A volunteer network of scientists, journalists and activists that checks Russian doctoral theses for plagiarism.

The community formed in January 2013, and its full site opened on 23 September that year. By 2016 it had identified around 5,600 suspected plagiarists, mostly officials and other members of the elite, and released reports on about 1,300.

Modern era, 2009 on. Phones, feeds and cookie banners. The web got fast, flat and very sure about notifications.

The Long Tail: The niche, the local and the specialist. Most of the web, really.
