The Yu-Gi-Oh! Trading Card Game is based on the Yu-Gi-Oh! comic series from artist Kazuki Takahashi that first appeared in Japan in 1996.  The comic spawned a hit cartoon TV show, a top-selling collectible card game, several videogames and other licensed merchandise. During the game, players Duel each other by summoning monsters and activating Spell and Trap cards. Using a Starter Deck and/or booster sets, Duelists collect cards to play their hands against other Duelists. Duelists with well-constructed Decks, powerful monsters, solid strategy and a little good fortune are the winners in the Yu-Gi-Oh! TCG.
