Yugioh Cards - The Game

The Yugioh trading card game has been very popular in the last 10 years. Players trade, buy, and duel with their collection of Yugioh cards. Like other TCG's it has a set of rules to follow.

Yugioh was invented by Kazuki Takashi and has become to be one of the top 10 most popular TCG games of all time. In the game you have to duel your opponent using your collection of yugioh cards. There are phases in the game. You can only do certain things in certain phases. Here are the phases:

Draw Phase

In the draw phase, players draw one card from their decks. You must draw the top card. At the start of the duel, each player must draw cards to their hand.

Standby Phase

This phase only occurs when a certain card's effect triggers it. If this doesn't happen, go on to the next phase.

Main Phase

Trap cards can be set, but not activated. Traps can only be activated on the next turn after their set. You can set monsters on the field, but they cannot attack yet. Plan out your strategy wisely.

Battle Phase

The intense stage in the duel. You attach your opponent's monsters on them directly. Direct attacks can only be used when there are no monsters on the opponents side of the field. If you can't or don't want to attack, go on to the next phase.

End Phase

The last phase of your turn. You simply tell your opponent that you have decided to end your turn.

These phases are combined into one of your many turns in a duel. A duel can have more than a hundred turns or as little as ten turns. It all depends on the skill of the players and the cards they have. Yugioh is a great game once you learn how to play it, so go out there, duel, and enjoy!
