What it does
On reveal: Shield your cards here from the next destroy or On reveal debuff.
On reveal happens once, when the card flips.
Shield blocks the next destroy or On reveal debuff.
It costs 2 RAM to play and brings 4 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 2005
A site where volunteers upload and annotate recordings of birdsong and other wildlife sounds, from birds to bats and frogs.
Started in 2005 by Bob Planqué and Willem-Pier Vellinga, it holds over a million recordings of more than 12,900 species, all under Creative Commons licences. The name means 'strange sound'.
In 2005: Launched on 30 May, with recordings of only about 160 species.
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.
