I’ve played a lot, but have yet to win any games. I won’t beat around the bush–it went poorly. I just wanted to have some fun with cards I like, and I’m not the sort of person who just copies whatever’s popular so I can win. I created decks with the cards I remembered, resulting in structures that must have looked archaic to those who still follow the game religiously.
I swotted up on the rules as best I could (I didn’t really follow much), and I found an online Yu-Gi-Oh! portal that enabled me to play with people around the world. Apparently, everyone now played Kaijus, Sky Strikers, Spyrals or Spellbooks–that was just what you did if you wanted to win.Īs I tried to get back into the game, I’ve realised it’s better that some things stay in the pastĭespite not knowing the game anymore, there was an itch I wanted to scratch, so I dove back in. You didn’t just assemble random cards that worked well together any more–every card was now part of a class, with its own support cards. Everything now appeared to revolve around playing archetypes in decks. The game had evolved substantially–there were now Monster classes called Pendulum, Synchro, XYZ, and Link. Out of curiosity, I watched some videos on YouTube of people building decks or providing ‘Top Tens’. In one of these, I found lots of my old decks, and my memories came flooding back. I moved house and had to go through a lot of boxes. Coupled with this, packs and decks became too expensive for a young kid with no income to purchase–I had pocket money, but I couldn’t justify wasting it all on Yu-Gi-Oh cards.Īnd so, that was that until late last year. The game, like so many things in my childhood, was essentially a craze, and something else must have come along to replace. I was getting older, about to go to secondary school, and I was running out of people to duel with.

Looking at the TV airdates, I must have transitioned away from the game around 2007. I joined forums to talk and ask questions to learn, and I was derided for being a casual player and a loser It was essential viewing in our house, and for other kids I knew–at school we would play Yu-Gi-Oh! at lunchtimes, and there was enough interest to hold moderately sized competitions. Many people knew it from an eponymous TV show, following our protagonist Yugi dueling in tournaments (which, on a re-watch, were still over-exaggerated performance). You normally beat the other player by reducing their 8000 Life Points to zero, via a combination of attacking and burning them with effect damage (you can also win if their deck runs out of cards, but I don’t remember games ever lasting long enough to reach that stage). In the game, you assemble a deck of 40 cards, filled with Monsters, Spells and Traps. But now, as I tried to get back into the game, I’ve realised it’s better that some things stay in the past. I used to love Yu-Gi-Oh!, and I would play it with my friends all the time.

I was always big into video games as a kid, but the thing that took up most of my free time was in fact a trading card game.
