The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- It is used, for example, to work on the foundations of a bridge pier, for the construction of a concrete dam, or for the repair of ships.
- Caissons are constructed in such a way that the water can be pumped out, keeping the work environment dry.
- When piers are being built using an open caisson, and it is not practical to reach suitable soil, friction pilings may be driven to form a suitable sub-foundation.
Why it is Uncommon
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Caisson article was read about 110,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 61 and blocks with 38: each hit it takes is cut by 15 %.
How to get Caisson
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.
