Everything you need to play

From your first duel to your first tournament: a complete walkthrough of YGO Duelix in plain language.

Player Guide

Welcome, duelist

YGO Duelix is a free, browser-based collectible card game inspired by Yu-Gi-Oh! in the Edison Oficial format — a balanced classic era with Synchro, Fusion, and Ritual summons, but no XYZ, Pendulum, or Link mechanics. In 1v1 or Tag 2v2 matches, duelists take turns playing monsters, spells, and traps to reduce the opponent's life points to zero.

Quick start in 5 steps

1

Create your character

Sign up, then pick a name and avatar for your in-game character. Your character is the identity that owns your decks, currency and progress.

2

Get your starter deck

New characters receive ready-to-play starter decks for competitive, casual, and tournament contexts. You can start dueling without building anything first and adjust your decks from the Decks page; decks locked by a tournament stay protected while the event is running.

3

Open the lobby

The lobby is where you queue for matches. Choose a mode (casual, ranked, team, or tournament) and the system pairs you against an opponent, another pair, or the tournament bracket.

4

Duel

When the match starts you'll see your hand, your field and your opponent's field. Tap a card or a zone to see your legal options on each turn.

5

Earn rewards

Competitive duels, missions, daily rewards, levels, and seasons grant gold, XP, credits, cards, medals, and ranking points according to each active rule.
