The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- The air hockey table has raised edges that allow the puck to reflect off horizontally, and a very smooth, slippery surface that further reduces friction by suspending the puck on a thin cushion of air ejected from tiny vent holes built inside the surface.
- This causes the puck to hover and move easily across the table with little loss of velocity, which simulates the lubricated sliding of an ice hockey puck across a well polished rink, hence the name of the game.
Why it is Uncommon
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Air hockey article was read about 30,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 79 and blocks with 56: each hit it takes is cut by 22 %.
How to get Air hockey
