Battle City Rules

Battle City Rules are enforced by Seto Kaiba during the second season of Yu-Gi-Oh! (Battle City Tournament). They are as follows:

• Players begin at 4000 Life Points.
• You can conduct one Normal Summon per turn. Monsters can be summoned in face-up attack position, face-up defense position or face-down defense-position.
• Level 4 or below monsters can be summoned during a normal summon (e.g. Kuriboh, Level 1)
• Level 5-6 monsters need one Tribute in order to normal summon (e.g. Summoned Skull, Level 6).
• Level 7+ monsters require two Tributes to normal summon (e.g. Dark Magician, Level 7).
• Fusion Monsters must wait one turn after they are summoned before they can attack.
• If your opponent has no monsters in play, you are free to attack his or her Life Points directly, reducing their total by the monster's ATK value.
• Each player must ante their rarest card and a minimum of one Locator Cards in their possession. The winner of the duel obtains their opponent's card and Locator Cards wagered.
• Both players cannot look into their opponents respective Graveyards.
• If you have to discard cards from your Hand or Deck, you do not have to show them to your opponent.
• You must stick to the tournament's list of forbidden and limited cards. That means, you are not allowed to have more then one copy of Monster Reborn in your deck and none of Hinotama or Raigeki.
• If you control a card, your opponent owns, and this card is sent to the Graveyard, it is placed in your's. This also applies to Spell Cards, that are sent to the Graveyard after activation.
