The ENGLISH Yu-Gi-Oh! Expert Rules Page
Updated January 4th, 2003

NOTICE!

Remember that the Expert Rules Section hasn't been updated in a while. The official Yugioh site over at www.yugioh-card.com has official rulings. Your best bet for current and as-good-as-official rulings is over at www.netrep.net for your rulings questions. And the Netreps far more accurate than I am...

Welcome to the English edition of the Yu-Gi-Oh! Expert Rules Page.

What do I mean by English edition? Well, there is a very famous site for rulings of Yu-Gi-Oh! in Japan, which is called The Yu-Gi-Oh! Expert Rules Page (surprise). The site has rulings on nearly every card there is, and is more than goldmine of information for those that are playing the Japanese version.

My page right here hopes to be the child of the original Japanese page, helping people understand the rules and rulings of cards in the world of Yu-Gi-Oh!

Rulings/clarifications have the following "colors" in this section:

...those added since the last update are in yellow text. That color will be removed in the next update.

...those that have not yet been confirmed in the ENGLISH environment (either positive or negative) are in white, the same color that you're reading right now.

...those that differ from that of the official English rulings as set forth by Upper Deck are in cyan text.

...those that have been confirmed by rulings as set forth forth by Upper Deck are in orange text.

Due to action on the part of Upper Deck and Konami, I cannot STATE in this web page that these rulings are "official." (REGARDLESS of where the proof comes from). The rulings in these pages are not endorsed, nor approved by Upper Deck, nor Konami.
