The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- Historically, a bureaucracy was a government administration managed by departments staffed with non-elected officials.
- Today, bureaucracy is the administrative system governing any large institution, whether publicly owned or privately owned.
- The public administration in many jurisdictions is an example of bureaucracy, as is any centralized hierarchical structure of an institution, including corporations, societies, nonprofit organizations, and clubs.
Why it is Uncommon
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Bureaucracy article was read about 190,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 80 and blocks with 73: each hit it takes is cut by 29 %.
How to get Bureaucracy
Open packs. Each pack holds five cards drawn from real Wikipedia articles, the rarest last, and the fifth card is always Rare or better. The odds are shown in the game. A free pack arrives every hour and two can wait, and the Coins you win in duels buy more packs.
