Circle packing, an Uncommon card
In geometry, circle packing is the study of the arrangement of circles on a given surface such that no overlapping occurs and so that no circle can be enlarged without creating an overlap.

The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- The associated packing density, η, of an arrangement is the proportion of the surface covered by the circles.
- Generalisations can be made to higher dimensions – this is called sphere packing, which usually deals only with identical spheres.
- The branch of mathematics generally known as "circle packing" is concerned with the geometry and combinatorics of packings of arbitrarily-sized circles: these give rise to discrete analogs of conformal mapping, Riemann surfaces and the like.
Why it is Uncommon
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Circle packing article was read about 35,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 56 and blocks with 49: each hit it takes is cut by 20 %.
How to get Circle packing
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.
