The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- It typically presents as a triad of progressive psychiatric, cognitive, and motor symptoms.
- The earliest symptoms are often subtle problems with mood or mental/psychiatric abilities, which precede the motor symptoms for many people.
- The definitive physical symptoms, including a general lack of coordination and an unsteady gait, eventually follow.
Why it is Epic
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Huntington's disease article was read about 800,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 90 and blocks with 100: each hit it takes is cut by 40 %.
How to get Huntington's disease
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.
