The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- The sport and the sled may have been named for the sled's resemblance to a ribcage.
- Unlike other sliding sports bobsleigh and luge, the race always involves single riders.
- Like bobsleigh, but unlike luge, the race begins with a running start from the opening gate at the top of the course.
Why it is Rare
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Skeleton article was read about 490,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 71 and blocks with 64: each hit it takes is cut by 26 %.
How to get Skeleton
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.
