The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- The founders – variously named Trekboers, Boers, and Voortrekkers – settled mainly in the middle, northern, north-eastern and eastern parts of present-day South Africa.
- Two of the Boer republics achieved international recognition and complete independence: the South African Republic and the Orange Free State.
- The republics did not provide for the separation of church and state, initially allowing only the Dutch Reformed Church, and later also other Protestant churches in the Calvinist tradition.
Why it is Uncommon
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Boer republics article was read about 140,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 67 and blocks with 62: each hit it takes is cut by 25 %.
