What it does
On reveal: If you already have another Media card here, +3 Power to this card.
On reveal happens once, when the card flips.
It costs 3 RAM to play and brings 5 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 2005
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 2005: From May 2005 the NIH asked its grant holders to deposit their papers here; it became mandatory in April 2008.
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.
