Answer 2

Getting Started:

Each player must have a deck that consists of at least 40 cards. You can have a side deck that consists of 15 and ONLY 15 cards. This side deck can contain cards that can go against certain decks you have played against, and can be replaced for cards already in your deck ONLY after the first round unless otherwise stated. You can only use 3 copies of one type of card as well. Anymore of one type of card in your deck can get you disqualified in a match (there are some cards that you can only have one or none of in your deck. Refer to our banned/restricted list for more details).

Gameplay

Every play must have a game mat to play the game. The game mat looks like the following:

1) Field Card Zone:

Field Magic cards are played here. Only 1 Field Magic Card can be in play at any one time.

2) Monster Card Zone:

Monster Cards can be played (face-up) or Set (face-down) to the 5 spaces of the Monster Card Zone following the rules in Main Phase 1. Important! The Monster Card Zone has a 5-CARD LIMIT. Once all 5 spaces in the Monster Card Zone are occupied, no further Monster Cards can be played or set until there is an open Monster Card space in the Monster Card Zone.

3) Graveyard:

When cards are destroyed, they are discarded face-up to this space. The contents of the Graveyard are public knowledge, and your opponent can look through it at any time. Be sure to get your opponent's permission before going through their Graveyard.

4) Fusion Deck Zone:

If you are playing with Fusion Monster Cards, put your Fusion Deck face-down in this space.

5) Magic and Trap Card Zone:

Magic and Trap Cards can be played (face-up) or Set (face-down) to the 5 spaces of the Magic & Trap Card Zone following the rules in Main Phase 1.

Important! The Magic & Trap Card Zone has a 5-CARD LIMIT. Once all 5 spaces in the Magic & Trap Card Zone are occupied, no further Magic (except Field Magic Cards) OR Trap Cards can be played or Set until there is an open Magic & Trap Card space in the Magic & Trap Card Zone. This 5-CARD LIMIT includes any of your own Equip Magic Cards used to equip your opponent's Monster Card.

6) Deck Zone:

Place your Deck face-down in this space. Your Side Deck is not placed on the Duel Field. You can also play Yu-Gi-Oh! without a Duel Field. Just be sure to place the cards and Decks in the indicated positions.TERMS:

Play - Whenever you use or activate the effects of a card, change the Attack/Defense Position of a card, or place a card on the field, you are executing a "Play". When you play a card, its effect is immediate.

Set - The act of placing a card face-down on the field is referred to as "Set". A Set card's effect is not activated immediately. Also, a Set Monster Card is not considered to be summoned until it is turned face-up. A Set monster must be placed HORIZONTALLY, in face-down Defense Position (monsters summoned normally are placed VERTICALLY, in face-up Attack Position). Set Magic and Trap Cards are placed vertically on the field.

The Field - Throughout these rules, and on the card text itself, the Monster Card Zone, Magic & Trap Card Zone and Field Card Zone together will be referred to as the field.

Destroyed - A card that is sent to the Graveyard is destroyed.

Removed from Play - A card that is removed from play is NOT sent to the Graveyard. Instead, it is set aside and is not allowed to re-enter the current DuelTYPES OF CARDS:
