The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- The term originated on the Yucatán Peninsula of Mexico, where the ancient Maya commonly used cenotes for water supplies, and occasionally, for sacrificial offerings.
- The name derives from a word used by the lowland Yucatec Maya, tsʼonoʼot, to refer to any location with accessible groundwater.
- In Mexico, the Yucatán Peninsula alone has an estimated 10,000 cenotes, water-filled sinkholes naturally formed by the collapse of limestone, and located across the peninsula.
Why it is Rare
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Cenote article was read about 250,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 70 and blocks with 65: each hit it takes is cut by 26 %.
How to get Cenote
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.
