The idea

Two players start at 8000 life points with a 40 to 60-card deck of monsters, spells and traps. Summon monsters, set spells and traps, and attack. Take the other player to 0 and you win.

Your first game

A starter set or a Structure Deck is a complete deck. Normal summon a monster, set a trap face down, pass. The game is quick once you know your own deck, so read your cards before the first match.

What to buy next

A second Structure Deck for a friend, then upgrade with singles from our Yu-Gi-Oh! wall.
