The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- Due to the relevance of thermodynamics in much of science and technology, its history is finely woven with the developments of classical mechanics, quantum mechanics, magnetism, and chemical kinetics, to more distant applied fields such as meteorology, information theory, and biology, and to technological developments such as the steam engine, internal combustion engine, cryogenics and…
- The development of thermodynamics both drove and was driven by atomic theory.
- It also, albeit in a subtle manner, motivated new directions in probability and statistics, see, for example, the timeline of thermodynamics.
Why it is Common
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The History of thermodynamics article was read about 14,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 71 and blocks with 62: each hit it takes is cut by 25 %.
How to get History of thermodynamics
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.
