What it does

On reveal: +3 Power to a random card in your hand.

On reveal happens once, when the card flips.

It costs 1 RAM to play and brings 0 Power to its lane. You get 1 RAM in round 1, 2 in round 2, and so on.

Search cards grow with the friends in their lane, and some draw you cards.

The site, in 2008

A free online encyclopedia that aims to give a page to every living species known to science, drawn from trusted databases.

It began with a US$50 million funding commitment, led by the MacArthur and Sloan foundations. By September 2011 it had information on more than 700,000 species.

In 2008: Went live on 26 February with 30,000 entries.

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.
