DUEL INTENTIONS
Yu-Gi-Oh! at one point was nearly as ubiquitous as Pokémon, but what was once a simple collectible card game where you’d summon one monster and set a couple traps now regularly involves ten minute turns. It’s extremely complicated, but the basic appeal of TCGs remains: the agony and ecstasy at the intersection of skill and luck.
Special praise has to be given to the spectacular soundtrack
After years of exploitative Yu-Gi-Oh! has dragged the card game into the free-to-play PvP age far more elegantly than anyone could have expected. The learning curve will be rather steep for any newcomers and there isn’t really much of an offering outside of the competitive ladder mode (though this seems likely to change in the near future). But despite all that, it’s still one of the best digital card games available today.
