What it does

Ongoing: If you're losing here, +4 Power to this card.

Ongoing is always on while the card is in play.

It costs 5 RAM to play and brings 8 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

A database of the world's birds that lines up the different checklists and names scientists use for each species.

It tracks taxonomic concepts, not just names, and has cross-referenced more than 230 taxonomic sources. It also offers checklists for over 20,000 regions and lets birdwatchers keep their own sightings.

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.
