The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- The Martians intend to eliminate mankind and conquer Earth because their own older and smaller world has reached the "last stage of exhaustion".
- It was written between 1895 and 1897, and serialised in Pearson's Magazine in the UK and Cosmopolitan magazine in the US in 1897.
- The full novel was first published in hardcover in 1898 by William Heinemann.
Why it is Epic
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The The War of the Worlds article was read about 510,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 77 and blocks with 80: each hit it takes is cut by 32 %.
How to get The War of the Worlds
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.
