What it does

Ongoing: If you're losing here, +4 Power to this card.

Ongoing is always on while the card is in play.

It costs 5 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 Japanese subscription service that puts dictionaries and encyclopedias online.

Net Advance, a Shogakukan group company, opened it on 16 April 2001. It was free for about two months, then became paid. One keyword searches many reference works at once, including the Nihon Daihyakka Zensho encyclopedia.

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.
