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.
