The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- Founded in 1830 for the advancement of geographical sciences, the society has 16,000 members, with its work reaching the public through publications, research groups and lectures.
- The RGS was founded in 1830 under the name Geographical Society of London as an institution to promote the 'advancement of geographical science'.
- It later absorbed the older African Association, which had been founded by Sir Joseph Banks in 1788, as well as the Raleigh Club and the Palestine Association.
Why it is Uncommon
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Royal Geographical Society article was read about 46,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 76 and blocks with 83: each hit it takes is cut by 33 %.
