Lesson #1 "Basic Rules and things to know."

Each game starts with 8000 life points. The object of the game is to reduce your opponents life points to 0. This is done with attacks, or card effects. Each deck holds 40-60 cards with a 15 card Extra deck that goes separate from the deck. Each player is also allowed a 15 card side-deck from which they are allowed to exchange cards from their main deck in between duels. A match consists of 3 duels, a best two out of three. At the start of each duel both players draw 5 cards. Then the turn player draws a 6th and the game begins. If you cannot draw a card, you lose the duel regardless of what your life points are.
