What it does
On reveal: If you're losing here, draw 1 card.
On reveal happens once, when the card flips.
It costs 2 RAM to play and brings 4 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 1997
The oldest digital library: a volunteer project offering free e-books of public-domain works in plain text and other open formats.
Michael Hart typed its first e-text, the US Declaration of Independence, in 1971. Italian volunteer Pietro Di Miceli built its first website and online catalogue, and by 2026 it offered nearly 78,000 free books.
In 1997: On 1 August it released e-book number 1,000: Dante's Divina Commedia, in Italian.
Boom era, 1995 to 1998. Netscape, frames, hit counters and animated envelopes. Everyone had a homepage, and every homepage was under construction.
The Establishment: Governments, universities, libraries and archives. Very official.
Pixel tribute by dub3, after the 1997 page.
In the game, this pixel page loads the way it did in 1997, then plays a short scene. Want Project Gutenberg in your deck? Make a free account and open some packs, or try a match first. No sign-up needed for that.
