What it does
On reveal: If you're losing here, draw 1 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 2010
A non-profit lending site where people make small loans to entrepreneurs around the world.
Kiva means "unity" in Swahili. Lenders browse borrower profiles and lend from $25, with local partner organisations handing out the money. By March 2016 lenders had funded $827 million in loans.
In 2010: Began a Student Microloans programme, so lenders could back people paying for higher education.
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.
