'''Special Summon''' ({{Ruby|特|とく}}{{Ruby|殊|しゅ}}{{Ruby|召|しょう}}{{Ruby|喚|かん}} ''Tokushi Tokushu Shōkan'') is any [[Summon]] other than [[Normal Summon]] or [[Flip Summon]]. They usually occur due to a game mechanic, [[card effect]] or [[Summoning condition]].
There is no restriction on the number of times a player can Special Summon in a turn—Special Summons do not take up the player's Normal Summon/[[Normal Set|Set]] for the [[turn]]. Special Summoning does not require [[Tribute]]s for high-[[Level]] monsters like Normal Summons and Sets do, unless otherwise specified by a card.
