What it does

On reveal: -2 Power to the strongest enemy card here.

On reveal happens once, when the card flips.

It costs 6 RAM to play and brings 12 Power to its lane. You get 1 RAM in round 1, 2 in round 2, and so on.

Tech cards bend the rules: more RAM, cheaper cards and patches that weaken the other side.

The site, in 2002

A joke mirror of Google Search with its name spelled backwards, first made by the humour site All Too Flat.

It was never officially linked to Google. Its makers asked permission to sell merchandise to pay for bandwidth and were refused. Google LLC owns the elgoog.com domain as of March 2026.

In 2002: It caught on because it could still be reached from mainland China after Google and AltaVista were blocked there, though it had no Chinese character support.

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 Long Tail: The niche, the local and the specialist. Most of the web, really.
