How does the Yu-Gi-Oh! card game work?
Yu-Gi-Oh! is a tactical duel game where players take turns and try to reduce their opponent's Life Points to zero. You build a deck of monsters , spell cards , and trap cards , and use strategy, timing, and combinations to dominate the game.
Modern mechanics like Synchro Summon , Xyz , Pendulum , Link Summon , and Fusion make the game dynamic and complex—but also flexible. Whether you’re a classic duelist or following the latest competitive meta, there’s a deck type that suits your playstyle.
What should you know as a beginning player or collector?
For new players, Structure Decks and Starter Decks are the ideal introduction. They're balanced, easy to play, and include explanations of the most common game mechanics.
As a collector, it's helpful to pay attention to rarities. Cards can be identified by their name color, foil finish, and rarity indicator:
-
Rare (silver name)
-
Super Rare (glossy picture)
-
Ultra Rare (gold name + foil)
-
Secret Rare (diagonal sparkle)
-
