What it does

No ability.

No ability, just Power. Sometimes that's all a homepage needs.

It costs 5 RAM to play and brings 10 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 2016

A preprint server where psychologists post manuscripts before peer review, hosted by the Center for Open Science.

It opened in September 2016, officially launched that December, and was inspired by arXiv. By April 2017 Google Scholar indexed it.

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.
