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 6 RAM to play and brings 12 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 2005

A German football website of scores, transfer news, fixtures and estimated player values, founded by Matthias Seidel.

Seidel started it in May 2000 to track Werder Bremen players and transfer targets. Its database and player values come from its community. Axel Springer bought 51% in 2008 and an English version followed in 2009.

In 2005: Its community-built database of players, coaches and competitions had been running since September 2001. Axel Springer was three years from buying in.

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.
