=== Overview ===
[[File:RushDuelField.png|right|400px|A ''Yu-Gi-Oh! Rush Duel'' field]]
Being a derivative of the ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! Official Card Game|OCG]]'', ''Rush Duel'' shares similarities with it, with some notable alterations and additions. Differences that ''Rush Duel'' was explicitely advertised as having include:
* Players can [[Normal Summon]]/[[Set]] as many monsters as they want in a single turn.
* 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.
** The player who goes first draws one card on the first turn.
** Players have no [[hand size limit]].
** 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 Duel'' has a Monster Card type currently exclusive to it: [[Maximum Monster]]s, which are composed of three specific monsters that can be [[Maximum Summon]]ed as a single monster.

Other rule differences include:
* The field resembles that of [[Speed Duel]]s. Each player has 3 [[Monster Zone]]s, 3 [[Spell & Trap Zone]]s, and a [[Field Zone]] on their field. There are no [[Pendulum Zone]]s or [[Extra Monster Zone]]s.
* Some cards are specifically marked as [[Legend Card]]s. A Deck can contain a maximum of 1 Legend Card of each card type ([[Monster Card|Monster]], [[Spell Card|Spell]], and [[Trap Card|Trap]]).<ref name="legend">{{cite web | url = https://ygorganization.com/thatfeelwhennoblueeyesultimategirlfriend/ | title = <nowiki>[Rush Duels] Blue-Eyes White Dragon and Legend Cards</nowiki> | author = NeoArkadia | publisher = YGOrganization | date = March 6, 2020 | accessdate = March 6, 2020}}</ref><ref name="YGOrg 10-31-22">{{cite web | url = https://ygorganization.com/rush-duel-change-to-how-legends-work/ | title = <nowiki>[RUSH DUEL] Change To How Legends Work</nowiki> | author = NeoArkadia | website = The Organization | date = October 31, 2022 | accessdate = October 31, 2022}}</ref> A player's [[Side Deck]] can contain any number of Legend Cards.<ref name="galaxycup">{{cite web | url = https://www.konami.com/yugioh/rushduel/event/galaxy-cup/ | title = <nowiki>Yu-Gi-Oh! Rush Duel Galaxy Cup</nowiki> | publisher = Konami | date = June 2022 | accessdate = January 30, 2023}}</ref>
* [[Spell Card]]s include [[Normal Spell Card]]s, [[Field Spell Card]]s, and [[Equip Spell Card]]s. The only [[Trap Card]]s are [[Normal Trap Card]]s.
** [[Quick-Play Spell Card]]s have been imported from the ''TCG''/''OCG'' (such as "[[Silver's Cry (Rush Duel)|Silver's Cry]]"), in which case they became Normal Spells. 
* [[Fusion Monster]]s appear; however their Japanese name is written with the English word "Fusion" (「フュージョン」 ''Fyūjon'') instead of the Japanese ''Yūgō'' (「{{Ruby|融|ゆう}}{{Ruby|合|ごう}}」). Additionally, the primary Fusion Summoning card is the Spell Card "[[Fusion (Rush Duel)|Fusion]]" instead of "[[Polymerization (Rush Duel)|Polymerization]]", which becomes a Legend Card.
** Some Level 9 Fusion Monsters have new [[Type]]s not present in the ''TCG''/''OCG'', presented as "fusions" of the Types of their [[Fusion Material]]s. These Fusion Monsters can have [[Multi-Choice Effect]]s, allowing the player to choose between one of two bulleted effects (●) that have the same activation requirement.
* [[Flip Summon]] does not exist, with imported ''TCG''/''OCG'' cards that mention them (such as "[[Trap Hole (Rush Duel)|Trap Hole]]") having the term removed from their card texts.
* Every card can only have one effect, and monster effects on the field can be activated only once per turn while face-up on the field,<ref name="rushrules"/> similar to a card in the ''TCG/OCG'' stating "[[Once per turn]]". This also applies to [[Multi-Choice Effect]]s.
** Effects that would apply outside the field, such as cards that [[Changes own name|change their own name]] while in the [[Graveyard]], are turned into [[Condition]]s.
* Card effects list [[activation condition]]s and [[cost]]s on a separate line (indicated by "[REQUIREMENT]") from the rest of the effect 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]].
** Summoning conditions as well as Fusion Materials are listed above [REQUIREMENT] and [EFFECT].
** There are three types of monster effects; basic Effects, [[Continuous Effect]]s, and [[Multi-Choice Effect]]s; in the latter two cases, the type of monster effect is labelled on the card. The basic Effects and Multi-Choice Effects function like [[Ignition Effect]]s in the ''TCG''/''OCG''.
* [[Chain]]s do not occur. If two or more [[Trap Card]]s meet activation requirements at the same time, 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.
* Phases progress in the following order: [[Draw Phase]], [[Main Phase]], [[Battle Phase]], [[End Phase]]. (There is no [[Standby Phase]] or [[Main Phase 2]].)<ref name="rushrules">{{cite web | url = https://ygorganization.com/duelingaroundatthespeedofsound/ | title = <nowiki>[Rush Duel] Game Play Information and Yuga's Ace!</nowiki> | author = NeoArkadia | publisher = YGOrganization | date = February 16, 2020 | accessdate = February 16, 2020}}</ref>
* [[Tribute|Tributing]] is exclusive to [[Tribute Summon]], with imported ''TCG''/''OCG'' cards that mention them (such as "[[Cannon Soldier (Rush Duel)|Cannon Soldier]]") having the term replaced with "sending from the field to the Graveyard" in their card texts.
* [[Discard|Discarding]] does not exist, with imported ''TCG''/''OCG'' cards that mention them (such as "[[Tribute to The Doomed (Rush Duel)|Tribute to The Doomed]]") having the term replaced with "sending from the hand to the Graveyard" in their card texts.
* ATK/DEF values of [[?]] and ending in 50 do not exist, as such, monsters imported from the ''TCG''/''OCG'' that have ? ATK/DEF (such as "[[Maju Garzett (Rush Duel)|Maju Garzett]]) get 0 in its place, while monsters with ATK/DEF ending in 50 receive retrains with rounded stats rather than being imported directly. 
* Halving does not exist, with e.g. "[[Time Wizard (Rush Duel)|Time Wizard]]" dealing damage to its controller equal to the full total ATK of the destroyed monsters ion calling the coin toss wrong, instead of half of that like it does in the ''TCG''/''OCG''. However, doubling still exists.

Similarities to the ''OCG'' include:
* Players can include 40-60 cards in the [[Main Deck]], 0-15 in the [[Extra Deck]], and 0-15 in the [[Side Deck]]. They can use up to 3 copies of each card, with the exception of Legend Cards and cards on the Forbidden/Limited List.
* Players start with 8000 [[LP]].

=== Card layout ===
{{Show card image|Sevens Road Magician|"[[Sevens Road Magician]]", a ''Rush Duel'' Monster Card}}
{{Main|Card layout#Rush Duel}}
''Rush Duel'' cards use a new layout intended to be simple to understand and visually appealing. Differences between ''Rush Duel'' card layout to the ''OCG''/''TCG'' include:
* Art frames and effect text boxes are significantly larger.
* The [[Level]] value is altered to display a number over the Level star graphic.
* The Level value, alongside the [[ATK]] and [[DEF]] values, are moved above the [[Type]] line, slightly covering the bottom part of the card artwork.
** On the middle part of a [[Maximum Monster]], the [[MAXIMUM ATK]] value is printed above its ATK and DEF values.
* On [[Spell Card|Spell]] and [[Trap Card]]s, the [[card type]] line is moved below the card artwork, where the Type line is located on a [[Monster Card]].
* The cards have the phrase "''RUSH DUEL''" printed at their base.

== Legal cards ==
Similar to the ''TCG's'' [[Speed Duel]] format, only cards produced for ''Yu-Gi-Oh! Rush Duel'' products are legal in ''Rush Duels''.<ref name="legalrushduelcards">{{cite web | url = https://ygorganization.com/iwonderwhosinchargeofjapancurrently/ | title = <nowiki>[Rush Duels] More Information on First Products</nowiki> | author = NeoArkadia | publisher = YGOrganization | date = February 6, 2020 | accessdate = February 6, 2020}}</ref>  Unlike Speed Duel cards, which can be used in the standard ''TCG'', ''Rush Duel'' cards are not legal for use in the standard ''OCG''.

=== Sets ===
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 [[Starter Deck Set - Yuga vs. Luke|one set]].

The following sets contain cards that can be used in Rush Duels:
{{ #ask: [[Page type::Set page]] [[Medium::Yu-Gi-Oh! Rush Duel]]

== In the anime ==
In ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! SEVENS]]'', Rush Duels were created by main protagonist [[Yuga Ohdo]] as an alternative format that anyone can enjoy, in contrast to the "rigid" [[Goha Dueling Rules|Duels run by adults]].<ref name="summary">{{cite web | url = https://ygorganization.com/gottayeetoretueeeee/ | title = The Next Yu-Gi-Oh! Anime | author=Satchmo | publisher = YGOrganization | date = December 21, 2019 | accessdate = December 22, 2019}}</ref>

In ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! GO RUSH!!]]'', Rush Duel is a card game created by the [[Goha Company]] and originating from [[Earth (planet)|Earth]], whose existence spread into the depths of space and became a legend among the people of the [[Velgear Star Cluster]]. Main protagonist [[Yudias Velgear]] believes that this "Rush Duel" would be the way for his war-torn people to finally achieve peace. It is eventually revealed that the game was recreated by Yuga, having travelled in time after his Duel with [[Otes]], while [[The Creator (GO RUSH!! character)|The Creator]], Otes' [[Earthdamar]], was sent back even further and spread legends of Rush Dueling among the [[Velgearian]]s.<ref name="gr39">{{episode|Yu-Gi-Oh! GO RUSH!!|39|ref}}</ref>

== In the manga ==
The one-shot manga ''[[Let's Do It! Rush Duel!!]]'' features a Rush Duel between [[Yuga Ohdo (manga)|Yuga Ohdo]] and [[Tatsuhisa Kamijo (manga)|Tatsuhisa Kamijo]].

The serialized manga ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! SEVENS Luke! Explosive Supremacy Legend!!]]'' features [[Tatsuhisa Kamijo (manga)|Tatsuhisa Kamijo]] (also known as Luke) as its protagonist, in contrast to the anime. In the manga, Luke Duels various opponents with Rush Duel, aiming to become the King of Duels.

The serialized manga ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! Rush Duel LP]]'' features various Rush Duels. In a similar vein to ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! D Team ZEXAL]]'' and ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG Structures]]'', the manga series focused on presenting the game strictly as it was played in real life, often using newly released or upcoming cards.

The serialized manga ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! GO RUSH!! (manga)|Yu-Gi-Oh! GO RUSH!!]]'' uses the Rush Duel format. [[Yudias Velgear (manga)|Yudias Velgear]] believes that the non-violent nature of the Rush Duel card game would be the way for people to finally be able to end conflicts without bloodshed.
