- Each of these inventions sticks to the modern definition of engineering: exploiting basic mechanical principles to develop useful tools and objects.
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 engineering article was read about 21,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 69 and blocks with 70: each hit it takes is cut by 28 %.
How to get History of engineering
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.
