What it does
On reveal: If you're losing here, draw 1 card.
On reveal happens once, when the card flips.
It costs 5 RAM to play and brings 11 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 1996
A database of the accepted scientific and common names of species, each with its own serial number, run by a partnership of US federal agencies.
It now includes Canadian and Mexican agencies. By May 2016 it held over 839,000 scientific names, synonyms and common names, and it is widely used as a source of names in biodiversity projects.
In 1996: Formed as an interagency group in the US federal government. That year's NODC taxonomic code served as a bridge to it.
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.
