What it does

No ability.

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

It costs 1 RAM to play and brings 2 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 1999

A Russian online library of scientific journals and papers.

It was created in 1999 on the initiative of the Russian Foundation for Basic Research. It also hosts the Russian Science Citation Index, begun in the mid-2000s for the Ministry of Education and Science.

Dot-com era, 1999 to 2002. Glossy buttons, big money and a bug called Y2K. Some of these companies were worth billions for about a fortnight.

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