Is Yu-Gi-Oh a card game

Answer 1

Yes, indeed it is a card game. It is almost similar to Magic the Gathering which is also a collectible Trading Card Game.

For basic information, there are 3 kind of Cards

if you need to know more about it, type " = What types of yugioh cards are there? = "

For basic Game parts here's what I can give you. Player: Depending on your game rule, there can be 2 to 4 players dueling.

Lifepoints: Normally, 8000 is the Lifepoint of each Dueler. In Anime, the LifePoint were 2000 then change to 4000 in Battle City and so on and so forth. so basically Lifepoint for me can be altered depending to what the two players agreement. in our neighborhood, 8000 is what we have agreed to be our starting Lifepoint. LifePoint is actually the players Life in the Duel. the Duelist may receive damage in a lot of ways. He can pay lifepoints for an activation of effect, take direct damage from an opponent's monster, take Differential Damage, or take Magic or Trap Card effect damage.

All in all, the Life point is the life of the player. when it's 0 you loose. when you make your opponent's lifepoint 0, you win.

Deck: Is the compilation of cards of a Duelist which he will use in the duel. It has a minimum of 40 cards and can be as many as the Duelist like. however, the more number of cards you have in your deck, the less likely to draw the card you need in it. The other deck is the Fusion Deck. which is basically the compilation of the fusion monsters that is needed by the Duelist.

Field: Field is where you duel. It's parts are 2 deck zone (one for each player), 2 graveyards (one for each player), 2 Field Magic Card zone (one for each player, 2 Fusion Deck Zone (one for each player), 10 Monster Card Zone (5 for each player) and 10 Magic or Trap card zone ( 5 for each player). Also, provide a place for those cards which will be removed from play because of card effects.

Some Cards needs Tokens and Dices also.

For gameplay, dueler takes turn alternately. Each turn is consist of phases:

Draw Phase: a player draws a card for his deck.

Stand by Phase: a player does nothing but some cards take their effect in this phase.

Main Phase 1: a player summons a monster, set some cards on his side of the field.

Battle phase: if a player has a monster, he declares attack using his monsters on the field.

Main Phase 2: is only activated if he has declared battle phase. if not, then after Main phase 1 he should declare end phase.

End phase : is the end your a players turn and is also the start of the other player's turn.

Countering: at any time on your opponent's phase, you can activate Spell, Trap or monster effects but be careful that you did activate it correctly or else your opponent may declare it wrongly activated making it's effect invalid and directly send into the graveyard.

Spell speed is very important in counter because it is the main difference of Spell cards to Trap cards. all Magic or Spell Cards has spell speed 1 except for those who has an Icon of Quick Spell which has Spell Speed 2. All trap cards has spell Speed 2 except for those that has the Icon of Counter which has the highest of all at Spell Speed 3. the rule is you can't Counter a card that has higher spell speed than you. Only those who has lower or the same Spell speed as your card has. Magic Cards cannot be use for counter except for Quick spell ones (but in the anime, spell speed is not followed allowing the magic cards to be activated even on opponents turn). Spell Speed 1 cards are used only in your own turn and not in you opponent's turn. Spell Speed 2 and 3 can be used as counter cards.

in Yugioh, what is chain effect?

Answer 2

no. They are collectible cards used to battle or face other duelists in duels that you can find the rules to in any yugioh tin or deck. Duelists try to collect the rarest and best cards in their decks so that they can be better.

Answer 3

Booster packs and/or structure decks might make good gifts for kids and young teens who already play the game or have expressed interest in playing. Teens and older who have more knowledge and experience with the game might not appreciate receiving cards that they don't find worthwhile.

If you really do want to give someone Yu-Gi-Oh! cards, it might be worthwhile to ask the recipient which particular booster pack or structure deck they would like to make shopping easier for yourself. There is also the option to simply give the recipient a gift card to a store that sells them, such as Toys R Us, and specify that it can be used to purchase Yu-Gi-Oh! cards.
