The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- The company was formed to carry out the principles devised by Edward Gibbon Wakefield, who envisaged the creation of a new-model English society in the Southern Hemisphere.
- Under Wakefield's model, the colony would attract capitalists, who would then have a ready supply of labour: migrant labourers who could not initially afford to be property owners but would have the expectation of one-day buying land with their savings.
- The New Zealand Company established settlements at Wellington, Nelson, Wanganui and Dunedin and also became involved in the settling of New Plymouth and Christchurch.
Why it is Uncommon
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The New Zealand Company article was read about 24,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 82 and blocks with 94: each hit it takes is cut by 38 %.
