The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- It originated in the United Kingdom and is played in the Commonwealth countries such as Australia, Ireland, and South Africa.
- In the UK and Ireland it is usually called simply "pool", while the term "blackball" is common in other regions to distinguish it from the American-originated eight-ball.
- The English version of eight-ball has two main sets of playing rules used in professional play, those of the World Pool-Billiard Association, known as "blackball rules", and the "International Rules" adopted by the International Eightball Pool Federation.
Why it is Uncommon
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Eight-ball pool article was read about 39,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 62 and blocks with 41: each hit it takes is cut by 16 %.
