- It was named after the German mathematician and physicist Carl Friedrich Gauss in 1936.
- One gauss is defined as one maxwell per square centimetre.
Why it is Uncommon
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Gauss article was read about 46,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 54 and blocks with 34: each hit it takes is cut by 14 %.
How to get Gauss
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.
