The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- George Washington served as the first president of the company.
- Thomas Johnson, Thomas Sim Lee, George Gilpin, and John Fitzgerald, were all appointed directors of the company.
- The project is perhaps the first conceptual seed planted in the minds of the new American capitalists in what became a flurry of transportation infrastructure projects, most privately funded, that drove wagon road turnpikes, navigations, and canals, and then as the technology developed, investment funds for railroads across the rough country of the Appalachian Mountains.
Why it is Common
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Potomac Company article was read about 4,600 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 66 and blocks with 28: each hit it takes is cut by 11 %.
