WikiMasters, a game that turns Wikipedia encyclopedia articles into collectible cards, has become popular on the French-speaking internet. Players can open digital booster packs, challenge friends in trivia-based battles, and trade or sell cards using the game’s virtual currency, wikibidous. While registration is free, a Pro subscription costs 9.99 Canadian dollars per month (about 6.50 euros) and offers more frequent booster openings, access to rarer cards, and more battles and auctions daily. This payment model has been likened to "pay to win," where spending money can provide a competitive advantage. WikiMasters is not the only game in this space. Wikigacha, launched on February 24, 2026, by Japanese developer Harusugi, also uses Wikipedia cards, including those from the French version. Wikigacha is noted for its more visually appealing pack-opening experience and a more stable technical platform compared to WikiMasters. Both games tap into the vast knowledge base of Wikipedia, but each offers a slightly different player experience. Players earn wikibidous by discarding cards in bulk or completing achievements. However, discarding rare or legendary cards does not yield extra rewards. One of the more valuable achievements, "Wiki Legend," grants 1,000 wikibidous but requires owning 30,000 cards. Players can also track upcoming auctions to secure cards before others and use a "Wish List" to follow specific cards or sort their collections by themes or labels, which can aid in trading with friends. WikiMasters draws on approximately 2.7 million entries from the French Wikipedia, ensuring a large and diverse card pool that is unlikely to deplete. However, the game’s interface has been described as somewhat slow, which could make it harder for players to secure good deals quickly.
