The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- It is his debut novel.
- He began writing it in 1953, and the book was first published in 1961.
- Often cited as one of the most significant novels of the 20th century, it uses a distinctive non-chronological third-person omniscient narration, describing events from the points of view of different characters.
Why it is Epic
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Catch-22 article was read about 610,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 76 and blocks with 71: each hit it takes is cut by 28 %.
How to get Catch-22
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.
