Yu-Gi-Oh! Rush Duel
Yu-Gi-Oh! Rush Duel (遊戯王ラッシュデュエル Yūgiō Rasshu Dyueru) is a Yu-Gi-Oh! card game first released in Japan in April 2020. Rush Duels appear in the Yu-Gi-Oh! SEVENS anime and manga, and appear in Yu-Gi-Oh! GO RUSH!!.[1]
Rush Duel rules are designed to be simplified versions of the Yu-Gi-Oh! Official Card Game to better appeal to younger audiences. Rush Duel card layouts also have simplified designs.
Rush Duels were introduced internationally with the release of the video game Yu-Gi-Oh! RUSH DUEL: Dawn of the Battle Royale!![2], but the physical card game is currently exclusive to Japan and Korea.[3]

Gameplay[edit]
Rush Duel rules share similarities with Speed Duels, with additions of their own. Differences that Rush Duels were advertised as having include:
- Players can Normal Summon/Set as many monsters as they want in a single turn. Level 5 and higher monsters still follow Tribute Summon requirements.
- Players start the Duel with four cards in their hand. During their Draw Phase, the turn player draws cards until they have five cards in their hand. If the player has five or more cards in their hand, they draw one card.
- Players have no hand size limit.
- The player who goes first draws one card on the first turn.
- If a player would draw, but lacks enough cards (e.g. the player has four or less cards in their Deck, and no cards in their hand during the Draw Phase), that player loses the Duel.
- Rush Duels have a currently exclusive monster type: Maximum Monsters, which are composed of three specific monsters that can be Maximum Summoned as a single monster.
Other rule differences include:
- The field resembles Speed Duels. Players have 3 Monster Zones, 3 Spell & Trap Zones. There is an Extra Deck Zone, but no Pendulum Zones or Extra Monster Zones.
- Unlike Speed Duels, however, players start with 8000 LP and have 40–60 cards in their Deck. Players can have 0–15 cards in their Extra Deck.
- Fusion Monsters appear, but have a different Japanese name: 「フュージョン」 Fyūjon instead of 「
融 合 」 Yūgō for "Fusion". - Monster effects on the field can be activated only once per turn while face-up on the field,[4] similar to a card in the TCG/OCG stating "Once per turn".
- Card effects list activation requirements and costs on separate lines for easier understanding.
- A card's [REQUIREMENT] and [EFFECT] are treated as being resolved simultaneously. If either the [REQUIREMENT] or [EFFECT] of the last used card meets the activation requirement of a Trap Card, that Trap can be activated without missing the timing.
- If two or more Trap Cards meet activation requirements, only one can be activated. The non-turn player chooses first whether or not to activate a Trap Card. If they do not, the turn player can then choose whether or not to activate a Trap Card.
- Like Speed Duels, there is no Main Phase 2. Furthermore, Rush Duels also omit the Standby Phase.[4]
- Some cards are specifically marked as Legend Cards. A Deck can contain a maximum of 1 Legend Card.[5]
Legal cards[edit]
Similar to the TCG's Speed Duel format, only cards produced for Yu-Gi-Oh! Rush Duel products are legal in Rush Duels.[6] Unlike Speed Duel cards, which can be used in the standard TCG, Rush Duel cards are not legal for use in the standard OCG.
Rush Duel cards use a new layout intended to be simple to understand and visually appealing. Art frames and effect text boxes are significantly larger; a Level is altered to a number over the Level star graphic along the ATK and DEF values and moved above the Type line, and the cards have "RUSH DUEL" printed at their base.
Sets[edit]
As Rush Duels are treated as a different card game, Yu-Gi-Oh! Rush Duel products run in a separate product line to Yu-Gi-Oh! Official Card Game products. The first sets released for Rush Duel were Starter Deck Yuga - Cut Through! Sevens Road!! and Starter Deck Luke - Explosive Supremacy! Dragias!!, which could also both be purchased in one set.
