The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- It lies 1,300 kilometres upstream from the mouth of the Zambezi river on the Indian Ocean, bordering Zambia and Zimbabwe.
- Lake Kariba was filled between 1958 and 1963 following the completion of the Kariba Dam at its northeastern end, flooding the Kariba Gorge on the Zambezi River.
- The Zimbabwean town of Kariba was built for construction workers on the dam, while some other settlements such as Binga village and Mlibizi in Zimbabwe and Siavonga and Sinazongwe in Zambia have expanded to house people displaced by the resulting lake.
Why it is Uncommon
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Lake Kariba article was read about 81,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 51 and blocks with 26: each hit it takes is cut by 10 %.
