What it does

No ability.

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

It costs 1 RAM to play and brings 2 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 1999

A volunteer-run library of Hebrew literature, digitised and free to read online with no advertising.

Asaf Bartov, an Israeli software developer, began it in 1999, inspired by Project Gutenberg. It is named after Eliezer Ben-Yehuda, a leading figure in reviving Hebrew, and carries only works out of copyright.

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.
