Campaign

Players must beat each duelist in a stage five times, in order to unlock the next stage. Once a character is beaten five times, the player can continue to Duel them for additional cards. A complete list of opponents in the game is provided in the table below.

The available Stage 5 opponent is chosen randomly from four possible characters. There is a 3/4096 chance of changing the Stage 5 opponent after each Duel. Consequently, most players will not be able to play against all four.[1]

Rules

The game does not use rules from the Yu-Gi-Oh! Official Card Game. It uses the rules from its predecessor Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Monsters and makes a number of modifications and updates.

Deck construction

  • A player's Deck must contain exactly 40 cards.
  • A Deck can have up to 40 copies of the same card.
  • The restricted cards cannot be included in the Deck.
  • The sum of each card's Deck Capacity must be below a certain Deck Capacity.
    • When battling via the Game Link Cable, players choose a Deck Capacity that they must both obey.
    • When battling in campaign mode, the player has an allowed Deck Capacity which they can increase or decrease by various means

The player's Deck Capacity can altered using these methods:

Difference Method
+3 Defeat an opponent in campaign
-50 Get a card via the password menu

Duels

  • Each player starts with 8000 LP.
  • Players draw until they have five cards in their hand at the beginning of each turn.

Playing cards

  • Players can Summon one monster from their hand per turn. They may Summon a monster into one of the five available zones. If they attempt to place the monster into a zone occupied by another monster, the game will attempt to fuse the monsters. If the Fusion is valid, a new monster, considered to be a combination of the two, will be Summoned into the zone. If the Fusion is invalid, the second monster will replace the first.
  • Multiple Magic Cards can be activated per turn. Magic Cards are immediately activated when played and have some effect on gameplay.
  • A Trap Card can be placed face-down on the field. It will activate automatically when a certain condition, specified on the card, is met.
  • Multiple Ritual Cards can be activated per turn. If three specific monsters are on the field, the Ritual Card can combine them into one other monster. If the three specific monsters were not on the field, the card has no effect in the Duel and disappears from the player's trunk afterwards.

Modifying ATK/DEF

"B.eye White Dragon" with its stats boosted by two stages and further increased by the "Mountain" field
  • Certain Magic and Trap Cards will modify the ATK and DEF of a chosen monster by boosting or reducing it by a number of stages. A monster has its ATK and DEF increased by 60% for each stage. A monster cannot be boosted by more than two stages.
  • Field Magic Cards can affect any monsters on the field, specific to the effect of the card. It will either increase the ATK and DEF by 30%, decrease them by 30% or have on effect. There can only be one Field Card active at a time. This increase/decrease does not count towards the number of stages.

Battling

  • Each turn, a player can put each of their monsters in either Attack or Defense Position.
  • If a monster is put in Attack Position, it can attack monsters on the opponent's side of the field. If there are none, they may attack the opponent directly.
  • When a monster attacks a player directly, the monster's ATK is deducted from the LP of the attacked player.
  • When a monster attacks an Attack Position monster, the monster with lower ATK is destroyed and the difference is deducted from the LP of the controller of the destroyed monster. If both monsters have the same ATK, they are both destroyed.
  • When a monster attacks a Defense Position monster; If the attacking monster's ATK is higher than the defending monster's DEF, the defending monster is destroyed. If the attack monster's ATK is equal to or lower than the DEF of the defending monster, the difference is deducted from the LP of the attacking monster and neither monster is destroyed.
  • However when a monster attacks a monster with an opposing Summon, the monster with the inferior Summon is instantly destroyed and the controller of the monster with the superior monster will not lose LP.

Winning

A Duel is won, when any of these conditions are met:

  • The opponent's LP are reduced to 0.
  • The player has all five "Exodia" pieces in their hand.

Obtaining cards (permanent)

Permanent copies of cards could be obtained with the following methods:
