The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- It was a period from approximately the 15th to the 17th century, during which seafarers from European countries explored, colonized, and conquered regions across the globe.
- The Age of Discovery was a transformative period when previously isolated parts of the world became connected to form the world-system, and laid the groundwork for globalization.
- The extensive overseas exploration, particularly the opening of maritime routes to the East Indies and European colonization of the Americas by the Portuguese and Spaniards, later joined by the English, French, and Dutch, spurred international global trade.
Why it is Rare
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Age of Discovery article was read about 400,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 95 and blocks with 86: each hit it takes is cut by 34 %.
