What it does

Ongoing: +1 Power to this card for each card you have here, up to +3.

Ongoing is always on while the card is in play.

It costs 4 RAM to play and brings 6 Power to its lane. You get 1 RAM in round 1, 2 in round 2, and so on.

Search cards grow with the friends in their lane, and some draw you cards.

The site, in 1998

An online encyclopedia of languages and writing systems, with alphabets and sample phrases from around the world.

Simon Ager began it in 1998 as the website for a planned web design and translation business, and it grew into a large guide to scripts and languages. It now covers over 2,000 languages.

Boom era, 1995 to 1998. Netscape, frames, hit counters and animated envelopes. Everyone had a homepage, and every homepage was under construction.

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