The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- The term is applied in several different senses to very long and comparatively short periods of cooling.
- An ice age may consist of numerous sub-periods where the global temperature and glaciation fluctuates, with the colder periods called glacials, and relatively warmer periods called interglacials.
- Earth's climate alternates between icehouse and greenhouse periods based on whether there are glaciers on the planet, and for most of Earth's history it has been in a greenhouse period with little or no permanent ice.
Why it is Rare
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Ice age article was read about 460,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 83 and blocks with 87: each hit it takes is cut by 35 %.
How to get Ice age
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.
