Does anyone fancy playing this online?
http://genie.game-host.org/

If so, I can set up a private game and point you at it.

I've never played that game, but I've heard good things about it, and would be willing to learn.

In that case, I recommend reading the rules and then playing a solo game or two on the site.  It will give you a good feel for what the different strategies are.

I would also be interested, and I have played the game about 4 times IIRC.

Having had a quick look, the interface seems clear enough.  My only complaint is that the text on some of the cards is difficult to read.  I would probably have to find a card list on boardgamesgeek to make things easier on my eyes.

Ah, it does seem to work if you open in a new tab.  I don't suppose you are referring to some kind of 1-click zoom option are you?

Depends on what browser you're using, but control-scroll wheel does page zoom for me, which is good for a quick zoom-in and back.
