→In other languages: split names that translate to "offer as a Tribute" to a separate {{In other languages}}
'''Tributing''', called '''releasing''' (Japanese: リリース ''Rirīsu'') in Japanese media and the English dub of ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's]]'', is a method of removing a card from the [[hand]] or [[field]]. By default, Tributed cards are [[sent]] to the [[Graveyard]].
"Tribute" (リリースする ''Rirīsu Suru'') is primarily used as a verb. Previously, it was phrased as "offer as a Tribute" (生け贄に捧げる ''Ikenie ni Sasageru'') in the ''TCG[[OCG]]''/''OCG[[TCG]]'', as well as the ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! (anime)|Yu-Gi-Oh!]]'' and ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! GX]]'' anime. "Sacrifice" is also often used to refer to Tributing in the anime.
== Mechanics ==
In ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! Rush Duel|Rush Duel]]'', Tributing is exclusive to Tribute Summons.
Card effects that would Tribute monsters on the field in the ''TCGOCG''/''OCGTCG'' instead send them from the field to the Graveyard in Rush Duels. For example, in the ''TCGOCG''/''OCGTCG'', "[[Cannon Soldier]]" Tributes monsters to use its effect, whereas in Rush Duels "[[Cannon Soldier (Rush Duel)|Cannon Soldier]]" sends monsters from the field to the Graveyard.
