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 2009

An online archive of scientific papers, set up by the independent physicist Philip Gibbs as an alternative to arXiv.

The name is arXiv spelled backwards. It is known for unorthodox and fringe science, and was a deliberate counterpoint to arXiv, then run by Cornell University.

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.
