The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- Despite the name, Moore's law describes an empirical relationship, not a scientific law.
- This type of observation, an experience curve effect, quantifies efficiency gains from learned experience in production.
- The observation is named after Gordon Moore, the co-founder of Fairchild Semiconductor and Intel and former Chief Executive Officer of the latter, who in 1965 noted that the number of components per integrated circuit had been doubling every year, and projected that this rate of growth would continue for at least another decade.
Why it is Rare
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Moore's law article was read about 430,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 86 and blocks with 91: each hit it takes is cut by 36 %.
How to get Moore's law
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.
