[[Victory condition]]s (勝利条件 ''Shōri Jōken'') refer to the various ways a player can win a [[Duel]] or [[Match]].

A player can also win a Duel if their opponent [[surrender]]s, or is issued a [[Game Loss]] penalty in a tournament. In addition, most tournament Duels are timed; if time runs out and the Duel has not ended, the player with more Life Points wins. If Life Points are tied, the Duel will continue until the first change in Life Points happens ("sudden death").
 
 
In addition, most tournaments are timed. If time runs out and the current Duel has not ended, the player with more LP wins; if LP are tied, the Duel continues until the first change in LP happens (unofficially known as "sudden death").
 
  
 
If both players satisfy a victory condition at the same time, then the Duel ends in a [[DRAW]].
 
If both players satisfy a victory condition at the same time, then the Duel ends in a [[DRAW]].
  
If one of these victory conditions is met while an effect is still resolving (i.e. "[[Ring of Destruction]]" or "[[Flowerbot]]"), the Duel ends immediately without resolving the rest of that effect.<ref name="Change">[https://yugiohblog.konami.com/articles/?p=7038 Konami TCG Strategy Site]: Updates: F&L Cards List, PGL2 Card Text, Rules for Winning During a Chain</ref>

A [[Match]] is typically won by winning two Duels. In tournaments, Matches can also be won by the opponent forfeiting the match or receiving a [[Match Loss]] penalty, or by time running out when the player has won a Duel while the opponent has not.
 
 
A [[Match]] is typically won by winning two Duels, making them best-of-3 contests. In tournaments, Matches can also be won by the opponent forfeiting the Match or receiving a Match Loss penalty, or by time running out when the player has won one Duel while the opponent has not. (If time runs out and both players have won an equal number of Duels, the current Duel is decided by LP or by "sudden death" if applicable.)

Since the beginning of the game, there have existed cards with [[condition]]s that provide alternate ways to win a Duel without making your opponent's LP 0 or making them [[Deck out]]. The first and arguably the most famous of these is "[[Exodia the Forbidden One]]". There are currently a total of fifteen Duel winner cards in the ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! Official Card Game|OCG]]'' or ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! Trading Card Game|TCG]]'' (not all of which are [[legal]] for tournament play).

A [[series]] of [[Monster Card|monsters]], known as Match winners, share the condition that if one successfully attacks your opponent [[Direct attack|directly]] and makes their LP 0 by the [[battle damage]] it inflicted (sometimes with additional requirements), then you win the entire Match instead of just the Duel. All Match winners printed are [[illegal]] to use in official Duels, except for "[[Victory Dragon]]", which is instead currently [[Forbidden]].

===In the anime===
 
In the anime, five duels have been won using an alternate victory condition: [[Yami Yugi]] against [[Seto Kaiba]]<ref>{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh!|1|ref}}</ref>, [[Seeker]] against [[Joey Wheeler]]<ref>{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh!|55|ref}}</ref>, [[Noah Kaiba]] against Seto Kaiba<ref>{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh!|116|ref}}</ref>, [[Jaden Yuki]] against [[Harrington Rosewood]]<ref>{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! GX|15|ref}}</ref>, and [[Adrian Gecko]] against [[Aster Phoenix]]<ref>{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! GX|145|ref}}</ref>.
 
 
 
Other Duelists such as [[Yami Bakura]], Seto Kaiba, [[Dartz]], Harrington Rosewood, [[Thelonious Viper]], [[Yubel (character)|Yubel]] (through [[Marcel Bonaparte]]), [[Quattro]], [[Don Thousand]], and [[Nash]] have attempted to win using an alternate victory condition, albeit unsuccessfully.

* "[[Yata-Garasu]]": In most video games, if a player successfully inflicts battle damage to their opponent with "Yata-Garasu" while the opponent controls no cards and has no cards in their hand, then the opponent is programmed to automatically surrender the Duel at the start of their next turn, as a reference to the [[Yata-Garasu Lockdown]] strategy.<ref>http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AezdHXC6nLg&t=3m27s</ref> This forced surrender applies to both human and CPU players, and will occur even if not surrendering would have been beneficial (such as if the controller of "Yata-Garasu" had no cards left in their Deck and would have lost via deck out had the opponent not surrendered).

*"[[Yata-Garasu]]": In most video games, if a player successfully inflicts battle damage to their opponent with "Yata-Garasu" while the opponent controls no cards and has no cards in their hand, then the opponent will automatically surrender the Duel at the start of their next turn, because of the [[Yata-Garasu Lockdown|lock effect of "Yata-Garasu"]].<ref>http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AezdHXC6nLg&t=3m27s</ref> This forced surrender applies to both human and CPU players, and will occur even if not surrendering would have been beneficial (such as if the controller of "Yata-Garasu" had no cards left in their Deck and would have lost had the opponent not surrendered).
* In most video games where the player has to duel under timed conditions, a player will lose if they run out of time (regardless of LP).
 
* In ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! Master Duel]]'', a player may also unexpectedly lose if they have been reported prior to the duel. In such cases, the result screen displays "No winner in # turns".

* Prior to March 20, 2015 in the ''[[TCG]]'', it was the rule that a Duel could not end in the middle of resolving a card effect. For example:

Prior to March 20, 2015 in the ''[[TCG]]'', it was the rule that a Duel could not end in the middle of resolving a card effect. For example:
** If a player [[activate]]d "[[Berserker Soul]]" and [[excavate]]d a Monster Card, lowering the opponent's LP to 0 as a result, that player would still be required to keep excavating cards until they excavated a non-Monster Card or excavated a total of 8 Monster Cards, before the opponent would actually lose.<ref>[https://yugiohblog.konami.com/articles/?p=6105 Konami TCG Strategy Site]: Drawing the Pharaoh’s Ire</ref>
+
* If a player [[activate]]d "[[Berserker Soul]]" and one of the [[excavate]]d cards lowered the opponent's LP to 0, the player would still be required to excavate up to all 7 cards before the effect finished resolving and the player with 0 LP lost.
** On March 20, 2015, the rules were changed for standard victory conditions only, stating that a Duel ends immediately if a player's LP reaches 0 or they are forced to draw a card when there are no cards in their Deck (even while an effect is still resolving). This change does not carry over to alternate victory conditions (i.e. a player draws a fifth "[[Forbidden One]]" monster by the effect of "[[Dark World Dealings]]", but cannot declare victory until after they discard). This change was presumably made in response to the then-new [[erratum]] of "[[Card Errata:Ring of Destruction|Ring of Destruction]]" in the ''TCG''.
+
* A player who draws the fifth piece of "[[Exodia]]" with "[[Dark World Dealings]]" cannot declare victory until after they have also discarded a card (and their hand still contains all five "Exodia" pieces).
 
+
On March 20, 2015, the rules were changed for standard victory conditions only, stating that a Duel would end immediately if a player's Life Points reached 0 or they were unable to draw a card, even in the middle of an effect, but that this change would not carry over to alternate victory conditions. This change was presumably made in response to the then-new [[erratum]] of "[[Ring of Destruction]]" in the ''TCG''.<sup>''[TODO: This change was also made in the OCG at some point; can someone find an exact date?]''</sup>
