What it does
On reveal: +2 Power to your cards in other lanes.
On reveal happens once, when the card flips.
It costs 6 RAM to play and brings 4 Power to its lane. You get 1 RAM in round 1, 2 in round 2, and so on.
Media cards broadcast Power to your other lanes.
The site, in 2000
A free archive of full-text articles from biomedical and life sciences journals, run by the US National Center for Biotechnology Information.
It began as E-biomed, a proposal by the NIH director Harold Varmus in May 1999, and the idea set off a hurried rival plan among commercial publishers. Unlike PubMed, it holds the full articles.
In 2000: Went live in February 2000 with two journals, a year after Varmus proposed it as E-biomed.
Dot-com era, 1999 to 2002. Glossy buttons, big money and a bug called Y2K. Some of these companies were worth billions for about a fortnight.
The Establishment: Governments, universities, libraries and archives. Very official.
