Ranked #412 of the 3,000 cards of the base set by power (ATK + DEF).
The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- The first aids to computation were purely mechanical devices which required the operator to set up the initial values of an elementary arithmetic operation, then manipulate the device to obtain the result.
- In later stages, computing devices began representing numbers in continuous forms, such as by distance along a scale, rotation of a shaft, or a specific voltage level.
- Numbers could also be represented in the form of digits, automatically manipulated by a mechanism.
Why it is Uncommon
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The History of computing hardware article was read about 80,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 92 and blocks with 92: each hit it takes is cut by 37 %.
How to get History of computing hardware
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.
