What it does
On reveal: If an enemy card was revealed here earlier this round, +2 Power to this card.
On reveal happens once, when the card flips.
It costs 5 RAM to play and brings 10 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 2018
A preservation project whose launcher keeps browser games and animations made for Flash and other abandoned plugins playable.
Australian Ben 'BlueMaxima' Latimore started it in late 2017, with a first release on 26 December. It now holds over 200,000 games and animations from more than 120 plugins, Shockwave and Java among them.
Modern era, 2009 on. Phones, feeds and cookie banners. The web got fast, flat and very sure about notifications.
The Establishment: Governments, universities, libraries and archives. Very official.
