From the simplistic beatdown summoning decks of the game’s early days to the intricate archetype effect-driven strategies with heavy amounts of special summons that define the modern game, a big part of why this game remains so beloved is how it never stays the same for very long, constantly evolving and experimenting with new card types and even all-new ways to duel. The simplicity yet tactical density of the Yu-Gi-Oh! card game has been a core part of the game’s appeal since the beginning, and is a big reason the TCG has endured around the world for 20 years.
