In-Link Counts

In-link count measures how many other cards point at a card through the word-link graph.

Why It Exists

In-link count measures graph centrality: how many other cards point toward a card's word. It is shown as tick marks between the link words.

Uses in Play

Use the count as a bonus, rarity, priority, or target value. Most cards have two in-links; counts of four and five are very rare.

Reward well-connected cards, make low-link cards obscure objectives, or combine the count with a game that follows the links.

Relationships

In-link count is the numeric face of the link-words graph.
