The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- A geminal diol, for example, is a diol attached to the same carbon atom, as in methanediol.
- Also the shortened prefix gem may be applied to a chemical name to denote this relationship, as in a gem-dibromide for "geminal dibromide".
- The concept is important in many branches of chemistry, including synthesis and spectroscopy, because functional groups attached to the same atom often behave differently from when they are separated.
Why it is Common
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Geminal article was read about 6,800 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 45 and blocks with 34: each hit it takes is cut by 14 %.
How to get Geminal
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.
