The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- Launched in 2011 and landed the following year, the car-sized rover continues to operate more than a decade after its original two-year mission.
- Curiosity was launched from Cape Canaveral, Florida, on November 26, 2011, at 15:02:00 UTC and landed on Aeolis Palus inside Gale crater on Mars on August 6, 2012, 05:17:57 UTC.
- The Bradbury Landing site was less than 2.4 km from the center of the rover's touchdown target after a 560 million km journey.
Why it is Rare
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Curiosity article was read about 300,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 90 and blocks with 96: each hit it takes is cut by 38 %.
How to get Curiosity
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.
