Welcome, Duelers! To an archive of the Heart of the Cards!

What is the objective of the game?

The Yu-Gi-Oh! Official Card game is a turned-based card game where you Duel against an opponent and their Deck of cards.

Each Duelist's objective is to "Summon" monster cards from their "Hand" to attack, and reduce the opponent's "Life Points (LP)" to 0.

There are three types of cards to consider:

Monster Cards

Monster Cards are the heart of dueling!
There are two types of Monsters:
  • Normal Monsters, which have no special card "Effect"
  • Effect Monsters, which have special card "Effects" in addition to their basic stats.
Monsters typically have an "ATK" (Attack) and "DEF" (Defense) as it's basic stats.
The one displayed here is an example of an "Effect" Monster.

Trap Cards

This is where dueling gets a lot more tricky, but can also be huge game changers!

These cards have specific conditions to be "Activated," which often involves the user of them to keep them hidden by "Facing them Down."
Their effects can be very powerful, and when used effectively could clutch close-duels!

Spell Cards

These cards are useful for times in need of quick action!
These cards have "Effects" that can greatly affect a duelist's strategy and outcome of the game!
