The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- There are 18 numbered groups in the periodic table, the 14 f-block columns, between groups 2 and 3, are not numbered.
- The elements in a group have similar physical or chemical characteristics of the outermost electron shells of their atoms, because most chemical properties are dominated by the orbital location of the outermost electron.
- The modern numbering system of "group 1" to "group 18" has been recommended by the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry since 1988.
Why it is Uncommon
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Group article was read about 150,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 59 and blocks with 38: each hit it takes is cut by 15 %.
How to get Group
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.
