'''Yu-Gi-Oh! Official Card Game''' is the version of the Yu-Gi-Oh! card game manufactured by Konami. It is played mainly in Japan, South Korea, and other parts of Asia including Hong Kong, Taiwan, Philippines, Malaysia, Singapore and Thailand. The ''OCG'' used to be printed exclusively in Japanese (JP), Korean (KR). It has previously been printed in English (referred to as Asian-English); despite being part of the ''OCG'', Asian-English cards have "[[Yu-Gi-Oh! Trading Card Game]]" printed on their backings, though with a different logo. In the past there have been 3 different Chinese prints of cards, including two "[[Blue-Eyes White Dragon]]"s and one "[[Dark Magician]]", though they were only for promotional purposes. Starting from ''[[Duel Starter Deck]]'' and onward, the ''OCG'' has started to be officially printed and distributed in Traditional Chinese (TC), and will now follow a regular release schedule.<ref>[http://ygorganization.com/are-you-ready-for-more-yu-gi-oh-languages ygorganization.com] </ref>; additionally, starting from ''[[Duelist Alliance]]'', Japanese cards distributed outside Japan are considered "Japanese-Asian" (JA) cards.

Revision as of 00:02, 18 September 2023

Yu-Gi-Oh! Official Card Game is the version of the Yu-Gi-Oh! card game for Eastern Asia.

OCG products are advertised as suitable for 9-years-old children or older (in contrast to the TCG's 6+, and it used to be 12+ until 2015), and tournaments are divided into three age brackets: Expert, which has no age restriction, Regular, for high school students, and Challenge, for junior high school students.

Regions and Languages

The OCG is played mainly in Japan and South Korea, but also in China, Hong Kong, Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines, Singapore, Taiwan, and Thailand. It was printed exclusively in Japanese and Korean for most of its history, but is also currently printed in English (referred to as Asian-English) and Simplified Chinese, and has been previously printed in Traditional Chinese for a brief period.[1]

Japanese cards used to be distributed in all OCG territories, though this has since ceased and are now only sold in Japan, by Konami of Japan. These Japanese cards distributed outside Japan were referred to as "Japanese-Asian" prints. Asian-English, Japanese-Asian, and Traditional Chinese cards are distributed by Konami of Hong Kong. Korean and Simplified Chinese cards are distributed by Daewon Media and Shanghai Windo Entertainment Co. Ltd respectively.

Even though they are part of the OCG, Korean and Asian-English cards use the edited artworks made for the TCG. Asian-English cards also have "Yu-Gi-Oh! Trading Card Game" printed on their backings, though with a different logo.

Card Legality

TCG cards are not legal in OCG tournaments. Due to Japanese, Asian-English, and Korean cards having different backings, if a player chooses to use a mix, they must use sleeves with an opaque reverse side to cover the backings.

Since September 2013, the OCG and TCG have had different banlists, with multiple cards being Forbidden in one list but Unlimited in the other (in both directions).
