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 2012

An Internet Archive project to catalogue every published book, with digital copies of many titles to read or borrow.

Aaron Swartz was its first engineer. Its catalogue draws on the Library of Congress, other libraries and user edits, and it claims over 20 million records. Authors' groups challenged its lending.

In 2012: The first year after George Oates finished her stint leading the project, which ended in December 2011. She had overseen a full redesign in 2010.

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.
