- Rounding can also be important to avoid misleadingly precise reporting of a computed number, measurement, or estimate, for example, a quantity that was computed as 123456 but is known to be accurate only to within a few hundred units is usually better stated as "about 123500".
Why it is Rare
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Rounding article was read about 240,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 80 and blocks with 59: each hit it takes is cut by 24 %.
How to get Rounding
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.
