In a duel, each round asks a question like these about the opposing card, with 15 seconds to answer.
The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- More formally, two sets of points are called congruent if, and only if, one can be transformed into the other by an isometry, i.e., a combination of rigid motions, namely a translation, a rotation, and a reflection.
- This means that either object can be repositioned and reflected so as to coincide precisely with the other object.
- Therefore, two distinct plane figures on a piece of paper are congruent if they can be cut out and then matched up completely.
Why it is Uncommon
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Congruence article was read about 60,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 63 and blocks with 43: each hit it takes is cut by 17 %.
How to get Congruence
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.
