In a duel, each round asks a question like these about the opposing card, with 15 seconds to answer.
The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- More precisely, one can be obtained from the other by uniformly scaling, possibly with additional translation, rotation and reflection.
- This means that either object can be rescaled, repositioned, and reflected, so as to coincide precisely with the other object.
- If two objects are similar, each is congruent to the result of a particular uniform scaling of the other.
Why it is Uncommon
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Similarity article was read about 30,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 68 and blocks with 54: each hit it takes is cut by 22 %.
How to get Similarity
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.
