What it does

On reveal: +2 Power to a random card in your hand.

On reveal happens once, when the card flips.

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

Search cards grow with the friends in their lane, and some draw you cards.

The site, in 2014

A free search engine for scholarly writing: journal articles, books, theses, preprints, court opinions and patents.

Google engineers Alex Verstak and Anurag Acharya started it. Its author profiles included Einstein and Feynman, and for several years Isaac Newton's said he was a professor at MIT.

In 2014: Personal Scholar Citations profiles arrived in 2012, and in November 2013 users could save results to a searchable library of their own.

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.
