The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- Two objects connected by an ideal hinge rotate relative to each other about a fixed axis of rotation, and all other translations or rotations are prevented, thus a hinge has one degree of freedom.
- Hinges may be made of flexible material or moving components.
- In biology, many joints function as hinges, such as the elbow joint.
Why it is Uncommon
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Hinge article was read about 43,000 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 56: each hit it takes is cut by 22 %.
How to get Hinge
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.
