The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- Civil engineering is traditionally broken into a number of sub-disciplines.
- It is considered the second-oldest engineering discipline after military engineering, and it is defined to distinguish non-military engineering from military engineering.
- Civil engineering can take place in the public sector from municipal public works departments through to national government agencies, and in the private sector from locally based firms to Fortune Global 500 companies.
Why it is Rare
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Civil engineering article was read about 210,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 73 and blocks with 65: each hit it takes is cut by 26 %.
How to get Civil engineering
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.
