The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- Polynesians made contact with nearly every island within the vast Polynesian Triangle, using outrigger canoes or double-hulled canoes.
- The double-hulled canoes were two large hulls, equal in length, and lashed side by side.
- The space between the paralleled canoes allowed for storage of food, hunting materials, and nets when embarking on long voyages.
Why it is Uncommon
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Polynesian navigation article was read about 87,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 79 and blocks with 94: each hit it takes is cut by 38 %.
