What is Yu-Gi-Oh?
In Yu-Gi-Oh!, two players Duel each other using a variety of Monster, Spell, and Trap Cards to defeat their opponent’s monsters and be the first to drop the other’s Life Points to 0. Players draw cards from their respective decks and take turns playing cards onto “the field”. Each player uses a deck containing forty to sixty cards, and an optional “extra deck” of up to fifteen cards. For more details on how to play, check out the Yu-Gi-Oh website’s New to Yu-Gi-Oh page!
For more Yu-Gi-Oh! information, take a look at their website!
