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 2 RAM to play and brings 2 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 1992

An online database of contemporary and historical documents on Irish history and culture.

It began in 1992, after a partnership between University College Cork and the Royal Irish Academy, called CURIA, failed. In December 2016 it held 1,601 documents and over 18 million words.

Pioneer era, up to 1994. Grey pages, blue links and a browser called Mosaic. Images were optional. So was colour.

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