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 4 RAM to play and brings 8 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 2001

A French open archive where researchers in any field can deposit their papers, published or not.

The physicist Franck Laloë started it in 2001 at the École normale supérieure. It later passed to the CCSD, and bodies such as Inria joined. Anyone can take part, though it mainly serves French academics.

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.
