What it does
Arrives with a shield. Ongoing: While this card keeps its shield, +2 Power to this card.
Ongoing is always on while the card is in play.
It costs 2 RAM to play and brings 3 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 1999
A website hosting open-source software projects for free, with code repositories, bug tracking, wikis, forums and download mirrors.
It was the first service to host open-source projects free of charge. By September 2020 it listed over 502,000 projects and had more than 3.7 million registered users.
In 1999: Founded in November by Tony Guntharp, Uriah Welcome, Tim Perdue and Drew Streib.
Dot-com era, 1999 to 2002. Glossy buttons, big money and a bug called Y2K. Some of these companies were worth billions for about a fortnight.
The Establishment: Governments, universities, libraries and archives. Very official.
Pixel tribute by dub3, after the 1999 page.
In the game, this pixel page loads the way it did in 1999, then plays a short scene. Want SourceForge in your deck? Make a free account and open some packs, or try a match first. No sign-up needed for that.
