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 4 RAM to play and brings 6 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 1993
An index of free books you can read online, edited by John Mark Ockerbloom and hosted by the University of Pennsylvania library.
It first appeared in summer 1993 and was the first online-text catalogue to use library-science methods. It now lists over 2 million books, with special sections on women writers and banned books.
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.
Pixel tribute by dub3, after the 1993 page.
