The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- It is one of the global navigation satellite systems that provide geolocation and time information to a GPS receiver anywhere on or near the Earth where signal quality permits.
- It does not require the user to transmit any data, and operates independently of any telephone or Internet reception, though these technologies can enhance the usefulness of the GPS positioning information.
- It provides critical positioning capabilities to military, civil, and commercial users around the world.
Why it is Rare
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Global Positioning System article was read about 490,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 94 and blocks with 60: each hit it takes is cut by 24 %.
How to get Global Positioning System
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.
