Playing on DvorakMUSH

When an Object is invented or discovered, the player creates and plays a new card using the Object's name as the title and its attributes as the text. The amount of the object a player posesses can be indicated with status; to give Mining Rights or Technology, merely create an exact duplicate of the card in question and givething to the other player.
