What it does

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

On reveal happens once, when the card flips.

It costs 2 RAM to play and brings 3 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 free multilingual website for learning Esperanto, with exercises, games, dictionaries and forums.

The name is the Esperanto word for "learn". The youth organisation E@I runs it, and its interface comes in 24 languages.

In 2002: American Esperantic Studies Foundation money arrived in July, work began in August, and it opened to the public on 21 December.

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.
