Wikipedia Card Game: Every Article Is a Card

The idea

Trading card games run on a simple loop: open a pack, hope for a rare, keep the best. A Wikipedia card game keeps the loop and swaps the printed set for the encyclopedia. The set is not a few hundred designed cards. It is millions of pages: your hometown, a famous cat, a football club, a dinosaur, a flood of molasses in 1919.

The card is the article. Its picture is the art, its title is the name, its opening lines are the text. Nobody decides which cards are rare: the articles do, most often by how many people read them. A page everyone reads is hard to pull. A page about a small village in a quiet valley is Common.

That makes every pack a small lesson nobody asked for. You pull a card, tap through to the article, and twenty minutes later you know about a dancing plague in 16th-century Strasbourg.

How Wiki67 plays it

Packs

A basic pack holds 5 cards, no duplicates, revealed one at a time from the lowest tier to the highest. The best card always comes last. With an account you start with 10 packs, and a free one comes every 10 minutes until you have 10 again. Every 67 hours, a free instant refill adds 10 packs at once.

The 67 pack is the lucky one: 6 cards, all Epic or better, and one time in 7 a seventh card, Mythic or, one time in 13, Ultimate. You win it through achievements, inviting friends and the weekly leaderboard, or buy it with coins. The 67 pack guide has the details.

Tiers from page views

A card's tier is its article's rank by page views over the last three full months, among all the articles that can be cards. There are eight tiers, each a fixed share of those articles:

• Common: 50%
• Uncommon: 25%
• Rare: 13%
• Super rare: 7%
• Epic: 3.5%
• Legendary: 1.2%
• Mythic: 0.25%
• Ultimate: 0.05%, the most viewed of all

Tiers are recomputed after each import, so they follow the news. A card you already own keeps the tier it had when you pulled it, for good: two copies of the same article can hold different tiers. Tiers explained goes through it all.

Collection, albums and showcase

Every card goes to your collection. You can own the same article several times, and each copy counts. Star your favorites, group cards in albums (flags, castles, F1 drivers, whatever you like) and pick up to 8 for the showcase on your profile. Other players can give your albums a thumbs-up. A card you don't want can be discarded for 1 coin.

Cards also get a category when the article fits one: Character, Vehicle, Place, Organization or Living being. A Character's portrait fills the card; a Place card shows a small world map with its spot marked.

Market and trades

The market sells cards at fixed prices in coins. You set the price; it starts at the tier's base price, from 6 coins for a Common to 500 for an Ultimate. Put a card on your wishlist and you get a message when someone lists it.

Trades work with any player who has an account, friend or not: up to 5 cards on each side. You can also send a card to someone as a gift. The market guide and the trading guide cover both.

Where you play it

Wiki67 runs in the browser, on a phone or a computer. Added to your home screen, it opens full screen like an app. The beginner guide and How to play walk through the first packs.

The other Wikipedia card games

Wiki67 is not alone. Three other games turn Wikipedia into cards, each its own way (as of October 2026):

• Wikigacha (wikigacha.com) is a Japanese browser game launched in February 2026 by a solo developer, according to Wikipedia. It went viral and reached the English press in March, from PC Gamer to Forbes. Its rarity comes from article quality, not views, and its cards fight in battles, as GIGAZINE explains.
• WikiMasters (wiki-masters.com) plays French Wikipedia. Its cards duel in quizzes about their own articles, and its market runs on auctions, per Presse-citron.
• WikiCollector (wikicollector.com) plays English Wikipedia with 10-card packs, auctions and a set of mini-games.

In short:

What Wiki67 does its own way

Each of these games picks a side. Wiki67's choices:

• Rarity as a share, not a threshold. The Ultimate tier is always the top 0.05% of articles by views, whatever the traffic does. Three months of views also smooth out a single viral day.
• Your pull is yours. A copy keeps its tier for good, even if its article drops later.
• Collecting first. No battles. You trade, sell, build albums and climb five weekly leaderboards that pay prizes every Sunday. If fights are what you want, Wikigacha and WikiMasters do that better.
• Play first, sign up later. Three packs without an account; the account keeps the cards and opens the market, trades and free packs.
• Coins stay in the game. There is no cash-out. The shop says 6.7% of the revenue goes to Wikimedia.
