What it does

On reveal: If played in round 5 or later, +3 Power to this card.

On reveal happens once, when the card flips.

It costs 3 RAM to play and brings 5 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 1997

An online library of Sumerian literature, with texts, English translations and a bibliography, built at Oxford's Oriental Institute.

Jeremy Black began the project in 1997. It covers over 400 works from the late third and early second millennia BCE. Funding ended in 2006, but the website is still online.

Boom era, 1995 to 1998. Netscape, frames, hit counters and animated envelopes. Everyone had a homepage, and every homepage was under construction.

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