What it does

No ability.

No ability, just Power. Sometimes that's all a homepage needs.

It costs 5 RAM to play and brings 10 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 2000

An initiative that makes online archives of language resources searchable together, for linguistics research and other uses.

Founded in 2000. It also advises on good practice in language archiving. The University of Pennsylvania hosted it until 2026, when it moved to the University of Cologne.

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