What it does
On reveal: If you already have another Institutions card here, +3 Power to this card.
On reveal happens once, when the card flips.
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 2008
A search site funded by the European Union that lists the digitised holdings of libraries, museums and archives across Europe.
It began with a 2005 letter from Jacques Chirac and five other leaders asking for a virtual European library. The files stay with their owners, while Europeana holds the descriptions and links through to them.
In 2008: The prototype went live on 20 November with 4.5 million items, twice what had been planned.
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.
