Product Description

Editorial Review

Who says kids don't have an attention span? Youngsters into the Yu-Gi-Oh! craze need to read a 35-page rule book in order to master the game. That said, the rules are straightforward, with plenty of play examples and illustrations, and there are extra pages for personal notes in the back of the book. This Yugi starter deck comes with a duel field and 50 cards in the categories of monster, trap, and magic. Players lay out the duel field, wage battles with the various cards, and strategize to defeat their opponents. Each deck's cards may vary, so serious players will want to buy more than one and then build the strongest deck possible by selecting cards from multiple packs. The artwork on the cards is colorful and striking, but the cards themselves are thin and may show wear and tear after a short time. --Pam Lauer

5.0 out of 5 stars The Best Card Game Yet, July 17, 2002

By 

Mike Perry (California USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Yugioh Starter Deck - Yugi (Toy)

Yu-gi-oh! Trading Card Game is the best Card Game available now, and has over taken the Pokemon Trading Card Game in popularity. The Yu-gi-oh! Trading Card Game is based of the Duel Monsters in the hit TV show on Kids WB. There are 4 types of cards in the game now, Monster, Magic, Trap, and Fusion Monster cards. In a duel, you start out with 8000 life points, and the first to hit 0 loses. You make damage in eachothers life points by using monsters in combination with magic or trap cards. The Yu-gi-oh! Card Game is very educational, in that you must strategize what cards you will play, how to counter attacks, and how to mathematically figure out the amount of life points you have. Each monster card has an attack strength and defense strength. The strongest card in the Yugi Starter Deck is the Dark Magician, one of the best in the game, with an attack power of 2500. Strong monsters in this deck also include, the Summoned Skull, Gaia the Fierce Knight, and Curse of Dragon. The Yugi Starter deck is based on the cards that Yugi uses in his duels on the TV show, as well as the Kaiba Deck for Seto Kaiba. As for the durability of the cards, I would suggest taking care of your cards well, especially the rare cards, since they are not as durable as playing cards or others. Still, this is probably the best card game you will play, so I suggest also buying the Kaiba starter deck as well. You will get the Legendary Blue Eyes White Dragon, with an attack of 3000. Boosters for the game are also available now, with the Legends of Blue Eyes, Metal Raiders, and coming soon in September, Magic Ruler. Buy the boosters and get even stronger monsters and magic cards. The game of Yu-gi-oh! is ever expanding and the series is a phenomenom in both the US and Japan. Buy the Yu-gi-oh! Starter decks today and start dueling! It's time to duel!

5.0 out of 5 stars Best Card Game Ever! Read Mines!, August 3, 2002

A Kid's Review

This review is from: Yugioh Starter Deck - Yugi (Toy)

I've played Pokemon, Digimon, Magic The Gathering. All of them were fun, but I got bored of them fast. They were never addictive, just fun. Man! This is the real deal! It's addictive! I never get bored. No matter how many times I lose, win, I just keep on playing this card game! It was so addictive that when I played at 1:00 in the afternoon, I played until it got dark! This game has the most strategies than any other card game. It makes you think a lot. Trust me! I have experiences. This is the best card game ever! Did you know, only on Yu-Gi-Oh's first set (Legend Of Blue Eyes) actually made more profit than all of pokemons sets combined! Now for the description. You and your opponent will consist of three duels. Who wins most of three duels win the entire duel. The fun thing about it, you can lead your opponents into a trap or use magics to decrease their power! It's Time To Duel!!!

Yugi Deck: It's better. This deck doesn't have the best power, but it has awesome magics and traps backing it up. Trust me, using this deck tricks your opponent into a trap, spell. This deck has something Kaiba's doesn't have, the Change of Heart magic card. If your opponent has a Blue Eyes out use this magic card and "Wham!" Now it's under your control!

Kaiba Deck: Has a lot of power and strength, but lacks good magic and traps, but his deck is awesome too!

Durability: These cards are not as durable as Pokemons, but just buy protectors and everything will be just fine! Notice, these cards are a tiny bit smaller than Pokemons.

Age: This card game is for ages above 6. I've seen ages 8 play. I've seen 10, 12, 13 and the age goes on. I've even seen College age, High School, adults, old people!

I hoped my review helped you! I did my best! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you very much!

5.0 out of 5 stars An Entertaning Card Game, December 5, 2002

I enjoyed the show and when I first saw the cards I just had to get them. Although these aren't made from the most resilient material, they shouldn't be damaged unless you're careless. The game is for slightly older kids unless you're really smart. The game has a simple concept, eliminate your opponents monsters so you can attack them directly, although there are other ways of doing it.

These particular decks amazed me, for being starter decks they are fairly powerful. This deck has cards like Change of Heart, allows you to control your opponents monsters for a turn, and the famous Dark Magician. If you like the show or just like cards, I recommend this product. And if you follow the rules, I won't be mad at you.
