What it does

Ongoing: If you're losing here, +3 Power to this card.

Ongoing is always on while the card is in play.

It costs 3 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 2003

The Python community's public software repository, where programmers publish packages that pip installs by default.

Its nickname, the Cheese Shop, comes from a Monty Python sketch. The Python Software Foundation runs it, and by March 2025 it listed more than 614,000 packages.

Web 2.0 era, 2003 to 2008. Rounded corners, reflections and drop shadows. Everything was social, and everything was in beta.

The Establishment: Governments, universities, libraries and archives. Very official.
