I have recently picked up the hobby of playing Yu-Gi-Oh again, and it has interested me in thinking about making a CYS story for Yu-Gi-Oh. What is the general opinion of the people on this site for reading a story based around the popular card game?

It would include choices such as duel decisions and plot choices.

I used to play Yu-Gi-Oh before I realized it was a waste of money and time. I still like the game and the cards, though. I would look forward to a game like this.

Awesome! I'm glad somebody would be interested!

Also, it's not a waste, if you live near a card shop (like I do!) you can participate in tournaments and whatnot, plus you can make cash off of YuGiOh if you get the right cards, or buy cards online in a bundle and sell the expensive ones!

As of right now, Minerva, The Exalted Lightsworn costs $1,200 dollars right now. Imagine owning that card!

Naw bro. No one plays in my school anymore. The hobby shop everyone would go to got broken into, and went out of business.

So, yeah.

Well damn :*( I'm sorry for your loss of YuGiOh.

The only thing that upsets me is that I've been out of it for a year and I just back into it, and my deck from a year ago is basically unplayable... which means I'm going to have to modernize it.

It's going to cost me $209.45 exactly. Yiiiiikes

That's what I hated about it. Tons of money just to stay relevant. But hey, that's just me.

But it's so fun!

But I'm a cheapskate!

Just play it online then. 

I enjoyed playing it when it was still cool. It's easy to learn and fun to build your deck according to different strategies. What I don't get is how you can play with things like Pokemon cards. Apparently there was a game to it, but I never understood it. Would I play a Yu-Gi-Oh storygame? No.

I've never heard of playing Yu-Gi-Oh with Pokémon cards... and awh, why not?

No, I mean the Pokemon card game. I don't how it's supposed to be a game.

And because I don't think you can replicate the strategy of the card game into a CYS.  Just can't happen.

Used to love this. Actually, still do.

After all, I'm named after Seto Kaiba lol

I'm happy to hear that!

Are you actually.

Yup.

Honestly, I like PokeMon and MTG much more. Feel like both are better. MTG is awesome because I inherited lots of old cards from my brother, and they are still usable in tournaments. :)

I also like Magic The Gathering! But Yu-Gi-Oh is more fun to me :(

I hope you're not actually playing physically. 

You're much better off using a program like YGOpro or DEVpro. All the cards ever, impossible to cheat (thanks to a fully automated system), and regular updates regarding new cards and banlists. Not to mention you're always able to find someone to play with and can do so from anywhere with an internet connection. Includes a handy AI mode too for testing decks. 

There's also complete control over the UI (GUI? How shit looks, basically). Change any and all textures (you could even change every single card texture to Dio's screaming visage if you felt like it) as well as all sound files in the game (including songs and SFX).

It's the fun without the hassle/ paying $80 for Frog the Jam. 

Other than that, I enjoy playing it with friends. Nothing can quite compete to getting out a dozen and one Gem-Knights out in a single wombo-combo. I've also seen some crazy shit done with Fables. 

Regarding a CYOA game, eh, don't think it's a good idea. YGO is stupidly complex, and to make duel decisions one would have to know the rules before hand. I don't think many do on this site, and trying to teach someone that MST doesn't negate and what spell speed is would just take up so much time that it's not worth the effort. Although a story revolving around cards sounds interesting... maybe something akin to Hand of Fate? 

Of course I use DevPro! But I live near a card shop so I participate in tournaments constantly as well. Right now my deck is in some serious need of getting replaced but honestly that's a lot of money and work.

Sent those fuckers to the Shadow Realm with my Blue-Eyes White Dragon back on the schoolyard.

Just kidding, never played Yu-Gi-Oh or watched the show. I just know the memes about the Shadow Realm and the expertly named Blue-Eyes White Dragon.

Blue-Eyes White Dragon is so vanilla, pleb.

Behold, my Odd-Eyes Meteorburst Dragon! *Adjusts spectacles*

Seriously tho, I'm lucky if I can go one day without seeing a Blue-Eyes deck. Plz stop the eyes, it's worse than Dark Magician at this point.

I have an Odd-Eyes Meteorburst Dragon!

My brother and his friends were practically obsessed with the original series. They would take up many odd jobs just to buy new cards and such, but I never really did get into it. I just thought of it as another phase that everyone would grow out of and latch onto the next popular thing, and that turned out to be the case. ^^

I do remember some cards being crazy expensive though. I never really understood why, but I guess it has something to do with them being 'rare' or something. 

Yu-Gi-Oh is always a thing. 

Konami runs us like whores, and they do it well.
