How To Play
- Design a deck containing at least forty to sixty cards in your deck (Excluding fusion deck).
- There are several types of cards to choose from including monsters, spell, and trap cards. (Full List Seen Below).
- Observe the Yu-Gi-Oh! board in which the game is played including the different parts of the board such as the deck zone, fusion zone, graveyard, and field.
- Each duelist starts off with 8,000 life points and any monster destroyed in battle is sent into the graveyard.
- A coin is flipped or a game of Rock, Paper, Scissors is played in order to decide which duelist has the first turn to draw, and five cards are drawn by each duelist followed by a draw phase each turn after.
- The way to win the duel is to defeat your opponent by making his life points reach zero, by making him have no cards left in his deck, or by a special card effect.
Rules
- Each card is limited to three or less per deck, unless it is semi-limited, limited or forbidden.
- The card limit for a deck is sixty cards and the minimum cards allowed in a deck are forty.
