Wikipedia Card Games Compared: 4 Games Side by Side
Four games turn Wikipedia into collectible cards in 2026: Wiki67, Wikigacha, WikiMasters and WikiCollector. All four give you random articles in packs, rarer the more they stand out, but they differ on how rarity works, trading, battles, languages and cost. Here is the big table, then a paragraph on each and who each one suits, as of October 2026.

Wiki67
Wiki67 is a collecting game on English Wikipedia: every article with a picture is a card. Its tiers are a ranking, not a scale. Each article's page views over the last three full months set its place, and eight fixed shares cut the list, from Common (half of all articles) to Ultimate (the top 0.05%). Tiers follow the news after each import, but a copy you own keeps the tier it was pulled with. There are no battles. What you do with cards is collect, trade with any player, sell on the market at your own price, build albums and a showcase, and climb five weekly leaderboards that pay prizes every Sunday. You can press Play and open 3 packs before making an account. The Wikipedia card game explains it all.
Wikigacha
Wikigacha is the one that started the wave. A Japanese solo developer launched it on 24 February 2026, and it went viral in Japan before the English press picked it up in March (Wikipedia). It is the fastest of the four: a pack every minute (Destructoid). Rarity follows article quality rather than fame, and every card gets attack from its page views and defense from its length, then fights in battles and raids (GIGAZINE). It needs no account, and has no trading and no market: your collection stays in your browser, with a backup to export, and an optional sign-in saves it online. Ads give extra packs. Its update notes add a story mode and online battles, in beta, since September 2026. Read Wikigacha alternatives for more.
Wikipedia, as playing cards.
No account needed. By playing, you confirm you're 13 or older and agree to the Terms of use.
WikiMasters
WikiMasters plays French Wikipedia, about 2.7 million articles (Next). It launched in March 2026 and took off in France in September, after streamers played it around the ZEvent (Clubic). Its big idea is the quiz duel: you attack with a card, your opponent answers questions on that card's article, and each wrong answer lets damage through (Echoes of Geeks). Add guilds, auctions in WikiBidous and achievements, and it is the most social of the four. It is browser only for now, with no store app as of mid-October. Our WikiMasters guide covers rules and meta in English.
WikiCollector
WikiCollector plays English Wikipedia, 7,235,024 articles by its own count (rarity page). Its packs are the biggest: 10 cards. It is the most open about odds: it lists, per pack, the chance of pulling at least one card of each top rarity (odds). Rarity comes from one month of human page views, and a Legendary needs 100,000 views or more. It has a market with auctions in WikiCoins, trading with friends, albums whose slots fill on their own, and public showcases people vote on (how it works). Its mini-games, like Higher or Lower and a flag quiz, need no account. A "Fight" mode was in public beta on 5 October, says its own guide.
Who each one suits
- You want to open packs fast, with no sign-up and no shop: Wikigacha.
- You want battles: Wikigacha for teams and raids, WikiMasters for quizzes where your knowledge matters.
- You play in French, or want French Wikipedia: WikiMasters, or Wikigacha set to French.
- You want big packs, published odds and side games: WikiCollector.
- You want to trade with anyone, sell at a price you set, and have the most-read articles be the top cards: Wiki67.
- You are 13 to 17: Wiki67 asks for 13 or older; WikiMasters and WikiCollector ask for 18 or older.
What the four share
Every card links back to a real article, so all four end in the same place: you reading Wikipedia at 1 a.m. None of them is a way to make money: WikiBidous and WikiCoins can't be cashed out under their terms, and neither can Wiki67's coins.
