In
Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Monsters, two players face off in
an all-out battle, engaging in a Match
consisting of three duels. It will take skill,
practice, strategy and luck to emerge victorious
from the match, as there are many factors
players can manipulate to vanquish their foe.
The main battles are waged between incredible
monsters split into an amazing 20 types, each
with their own unique skills and fighting
styles. In addition, players can use magic, set
traps, change the battlefield itself, and even
fuse two monsters together to form a monster of
immense power!

Object
of the Game
|
The
object of the Yu-Gi-Oh! TRADING CARD GAME
is to win a Match against your opponent.
A
single Match consists of 3 Duels. Each
card battle against an opponent in which a win,
loss, or draw is determined is referred to as a
Duel.
A
WIN
The
player who:
- Is the first to win 2 Duels in a Match OR
- Has 1 win and 2 draws, is declared the
WINNER.

A
DRAW
If
the Duel results are:
- 1 win, 1 loss and 1 draw OR
- 3 draws, the match is considered a DRAW.

Winning
a Duel
|
The
outcome of a Duel is decided according to the
following Official Rules:
- Each player begins a Duel with 8000
Life Points.
- Life Points decrease as a result of damage
calculation after battle.
You win a Duel if you reduce your
opponent’s Life Points to 0. If
your opponent reduces your Life Points to 0,
YOU lose!
- If you and your opponent both reach 0
Life Points at the same time, the Duel is
declared a DRAW.
- If either player’s Deck runs out of
cards during a Duel, the first player unable
to draw a card is declared the LOSER.
Bearing this in mind, a good duelist should
make every card count.
- If at any time during the Duel you hold
the following cards in your hand, you
instantly win the Duel:
• Right Leg of the
Forbidden One
• Left Leg of the Forbidden One
• Right Arm of the Forbidden One
• Left Arm of the Forbidden One
• Exodia the Forbidden One

Getting

Preparing
Your Deck
This
Starter Deck contains all the cards you'll need
to challenge an opponent to a Duel. Following
you'll find basic rules for preparing your Deck:
- The Deck used for dueling should contain a
minimum of 40 cards. Aside from this
minimum limit, your Deck can contain as many
cards as you like.
- In addition to your dueling Deck, you can
also have 15 additional cards in a
separate pile known as the Side Deck. The
Side Deck allows you to modify your Deck to
better suit your strategy during a Match.
- Between Duels, you can exchange any card
from your Side Deck with any card in your
Deck - as long as you end up with the same
number of cards that your Deck began the
Match with.
- The Side Deck you create must contain
exactly 15 cards at the beginning of
a Match. In other words, if you don't have
enough cards to create a 15 card Side
Deck, you cannot use one at all. NOTE:
This Starter Deck contains 50 cards, so you
will need 5 more cards to create a Side
Deck.
- In any Match, the Deck and Side Deck
combined cannot contain more than 3
copies of the same card. Also, be aware of
Forbidden and Limited Cards.

Gameplay
In
accordance with the Official Rules, a Duel is
conducted in the following manner:
- Before you start a Duel, greet your
opponent with a friendly handshake.
- Both players shuffle their respective
Decks and hand them to their opponent to
shuffle (this is called Cutting the Deck).
The Decks are then returned to their owners
and placed face-down in their respective
Deck Zones on the Duel Field.
- When using Fusion Monster Card(s), place
the card(s) face-down on the Fusion Deck
Zone of the Duel Field. A Fusion Deck is a
card or a group of cards consisting only of
Fusion Monsters formed by fusing 2 or more
monsters during a Duel. NOTE:
The cards of the Fusion Deck are NOT counted
in the 40 cards minimum limit of the Deck.
- Show your opponent that your Side Deck
contains exactly 15 cards (the cards may be
counted face-down). When your Side Deck
cards are exchanged with those in your Deck,
count the cards of your Side Deck with your
opponent once again to verify that the Deck
still contains the same number of cards.
- For the first Duel in a Match, decide who
starts first with a coin toss. For
subsequent Duels in the Match, the loser of
the previous Duel decides who starts first.
- Finally, each player draws 5 cards from
the top of their respective Decks. Once both
players have 5 cards in their hand, the Duel
begins, following the rules in Phases of
Gameplay. Before you learn how a Yu-Gi-Oh!
turn proceeds, it is important to fully
understand the Duel Field and game cards.
Understanding how each type of card works
will help you plan strategies to ensure that
you will emerge from the Match victorious!
