The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- They were originally written in Middle French and published in the Kingdom of France.
- Montaigne's stated design in writing, publishing and revising the Essays over the period from approximately 1570 to 1592 was to record "some traits of my character and of my humours." The Essays were first published in 1580 and cover a wide range of topics.
- The Essais exercised an important influence on both French and English literature, in thought and style.
Why it is Uncommon
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Essays article was read about 54,000 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 35: each hit it takes is cut by 14 %.
How to get Essays
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.
