What it does
On reveal: If you're losing here, draw 1 card.
On reveal happens once, when the card flips.
It costs 5 RAM to play and brings 11 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 2005
A user-editable database of place names, free to use through web services and a daily export, under a Creative Commons licence.
It holds over 25 million names for more than 11.8 million distinct places, with coordinates, elevation, population and postal codes. It includes data from the US government's GEOnet Names Server.
In 2005: Founded in the later part of the year.
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.
Pixel tribute by dub3, after the 2005 page.
In the game, this pixel page loads the way it did in 2005, then plays a short scene. Want GeoNames in your deck? Make a free account and open some packs, or try a match first. No sign-up needed for that.
