1. Yu-Gi-Oh is a card-game/show that tries to get in on the markets created by games such as Magic: The Gathering and Poke`mon. There are essentially three types of cards in this game: Monsters, traps, and magic (the latter of the two are nearly indistinguishable from one another). Comparitively, Magic: the Gathering has creatures, sorceries, lands, instants, enchantments, artifacts, and then various sub-types.
When a card is played, it stays face down on the table until you either confront it with something, or the owner chooses to flip it. Essentially, the game comes down to having the biggest, meanest, and (obviously) most expensive cards you can get for you deck. This game is about as complex as Pokemon, and that is a pretty sad thing.
2. The show the card game is based upon. Many claim that the dubbing ruined it- just like everyone claims every other anime show.
The premise of the show is basically Yugi's grandfather is captured by the evil Pegasus, who wants to unluck the power of the millenuim pieces and cards. So Yugi, who has a pyramid necklace called a "puzzle," sets out with his friends to Pegesuses island to enter his card competition. He then beats people in impossible situations using his puzzle to turn into his taller, deeper voiced alter-ego. Depite the fact that he's twice as tall as midget-boy Yugi and has a easily distinguished voice, the other characters remain ignorant of the change. He then wins by places his trust in the cards and lectures the people he beats about how they don't believe in their cards or treat them right. In other words, it's the same recurring theme from Pokemon.
The further the show progresses, the more ridiculous it becomes with it's Egyptian pharoh thing and the recent "God-cards" (further alienating those who don't have or refuse to spend large sums of money to buy those cards).
Don't believe what fans say: this is, essentially, Pokemon all over again- just with darker looking monsters.

A messed up shitacular spinoff of the greatest card game ever, Magic: The Gathering, to just appeal to eight-year-old boys whose playmates are forty-year-old gay men/priests and animals.

The most idiotic game on the planet. If you play this you really need to do something better with your time.
"Hey I've got an idea, lets take every fuckin magic card ever created and multiply their attacks and defense by 1000. Those stupid americans won't know what hit em'. That will make us millions!!!" (Card Murchandising scam artists)

Story of a weak kid with no friends or parents who overcompensates with an absurd hairstyle. After being bullied, his mind eventually snaps and he develops a split personality with sadistic tendencies and satanic powers. He then goes on a sociopathic rampage of challenging antagonists to games wherein he first rapes his opponents mind by encouraging them to cheat. He then uses this transgression as justification to inflict his satanic powers and "crush" his opponents mind by giving them crippling insecurity, turning them into a mindless vegetable or driving them insane with horrific hallucinations. Alternatively, he may simply choose to drop them off a roof or burn them alive.
Antagonist: Nice hair faggot, I'm going to make you my bitch!
Yugi: Fine, but first you have to beat me in a game which has a lot of potential for cheating...
Antagonist: OK faggot, why not?
Yugi: It's game time!
*Plays Yu gi oh, antagonist cheats*
Yugi: Oh, by the way, I forgot to mention that this is a punishment game and if you cheat I'll wreck your brain and leave you a dribbling, twitching mess!
Antagonist: Wait, what? That's not fair!
Yugi: Well, neither is cheating! HA HA HA HA!!!!!!
Antagonist: NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!
Yugi: Mind crush!

This game is the worst game I have ever seen. This game requires so little strategy it shouldn't even be considered. This game is basically the richest person wins 'cause he can afford the best cards.If you players want a game that requires alot of strategy go for magic:thegathering. Search it up here. It has much better definitions than yu-gi-oh.
Oh yeah and it's a game that feeds off rich bastards who have nothing else to do.$8 Australian for 9 cards! come on! If any of you guys play any other card game you should know that is a rediculous price to pay for boosters.
