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 2009

A free search engine for Australian libraries, archives and museums, with digitised newspapers, run by the National Library of Australia.

A staff member suggested the name, from treasure trove and the French trouver, to find. Apart from the newspapers, it hosts nothing itself and indexes its partners' collections. It has over 70,000 daily users.

In 2009: Shown as a prototype in May and launched in November, combining eight discovery tools the Library had built over twelve years.

Modern era, 2009 on. Phones, feeds and cookie banners. The web got fast, flat and very sure about notifications.

The Establishment: Governments, universities, libraries and archives. Very official.
