The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- Still in use – in a few places – at the subnational political level in Switzerland, it was formerly practiced in eight cantons.
- For practical reasons, the Landsgemeinde has been abolished at the cantonal level in all but two cantons where it still holds the highest political authority: Appenzell Innerrhoden and Glarus.
- The Landsgemeinde is also convened in some districts of Appenzell Innerrhoden, Grisons and Schwyz to vote on local questions.
Why it is Uncommon
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Landsgemeinde article was read about 20,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 62 and blocks with 51: each hit it takes is cut by 20 %.
