You build a deck of around 60 cards and take turns to deploy monster, spell and trap cards. On its surface, Yu-Gi-Oh! works similarly to a lot of card games. It contains over 10,000 cards from which you can build your deck, tutorials to teach you how to play, and a Solo Mode with a storyline that'll help you practice. Yu-Gi-Oh! Master Duel is a robust recreation of the phyisical trading card game. Duel Links, the previous iteration from 2017, was popular but never got anywhere close to that many players. It's currently the fourth most popular game on the platform by concurrent players.Īt the time of writing, 172k people are playing the free-to-play card game, with a peak today of 255k. It's also, of course, an enormously popular trading card game, and its latest digital iteration, Yu-Gi-Oh! Master Duel, came to Steam this past week.
I mostly associate Yu-Gi-Oh! with its manga and anime and all its hairstyles you could cut your hand on.
