In a duel, each round asks a question like these about the opposing card, with 15 seconds to answer.
The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- The geometrical layout of the components allows the reconstruction of the track of an incoming particle of ionizing radiation.
- Silicon microstrip detectors are a common design used in various particle physics experiments.
- The detection mechanism consists of the production of electron-hole pairs in a layer of silicon a few hundreds of micrometers thick.
Why it is Common
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Microstrip detector article was read about 840 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 33 and blocks with 15: each hit it takes is cut by 6 %.
How to get Microstrip detector
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.
