The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- Time zones tend to follow the boundaries between countries and their subdivisions instead of strictly following longitude, because it is convenient for areas in frequent communication to keep the same time.
- Each time zone is defined by a standard offset from Coordinated Universal Time.
- The offsets range from UTC−12:00 to UTC+14:00, and are usually a whole number of hours, but a few zones are offset by an additional 30 or 45 minutes, such as in India and Nepal.
Why it is Legendary
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Time zone article was read about 1,100,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 84 and blocks with 74: each hit it takes is cut by 30 %.
How to get Time zone
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.
