is this like yugioh? how you play?

It's not like Yugioh at all. It's a cooperative game where you each have a certain amount of cards in your hand, but you do NOT get to look at them. You face them outwards towards your team. The objective is to build up the different color fireworks by giving hints/clues to your team about their hands and play them in the correct order. https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=video&cd=1&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=0CB0QtwIwAA&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3DFZlk3rHbPcI&ei=8x87VO6wBNeAygS34IKAAg&usg=AFQjCNEGGanLdQ3e3nHWk8M7CeSAPuRENg&sig2=RZYCflLoI0y3rzBwWQBOkQ&bvm=bv.77161500,d.aWw

I'm sure you've already figured this out by now, but I figured I'd answer in case anyone else is wondering. I have this set, and the decks are both identical; there's no difference between the two. A little drab, if you ask me...it makes playing with these decks rather boring. Just wanted to put that out there.

LCG's are superior to CCGs because you get the maximum copies of all the new cards by buying the Force Packs. Pretty awesome. The only thing you'll have to buy multiples of is the core set box if you want 2 copies of all the objective sets. Great game. Highly recommended.

yes. We enjoy it. It is a form of solitaire. Our 8 year old grandson has the concept too and can play with us. Buy it, you will like it.

Definitely. This is the first game of this type I have played. Even being easily confused by game rules in general, I found this to be a breeze to pick up. It's really fun as well.

All Playable as cards. captains are a different matter. (Mal is one of the captains though) Every Character is well represented, even to the point of "who was this guy again?".

Both good questions that we also are stumped by...very poor directions! We played with just one deck of cards and no jokers with four people....maybe if you were playing with more people you would use both decks?!

It's a stand alone game. You can mix it into other cards if you like, but you can pull this right out of the box and play it as is.

These are what are called theme decks. These decks are both play ready but a starter deck comes with specific step by step guides to teach you the game. If that is what you are looking for, try searching for a trainer starter deck. I hope this helps.

I'd say it is! The intro adventure walks you through the rules as you play, introducing each mechanic "naturally". Honestly, it works very, very well for starters.

Not that I've seen, but they're all fairly random anyway with lots of insta-wins and insta-loses, so they wouldn't do you much good even if you saw them. For instance, playing attack penguins against another player, allowing you to steal one of their cards. Or arbitrarily declaring that you receive 8 points and that having 15 points is a new win condition. Or if several people lose in one turn, declaring that you all lost because of a player you pick as the "noob", so only that one person loses and everyone else is back in. Or playing a dragon against another player, which causes them to lose if they can't get rid of it before the end of their turn. Or forcing everyone to scream in fear about zombies before they draw a card. Or declaring that anyone who says, "I", "me", or "my" loses instantly. The Chaos Pack that comes with it had some funny twists, such as allowing anyone who gained points (points are entirely arbitrary) to point at another player and make them lose instantly, so long as that other player wasn't singing. One low point was that some of the cards were repeated, except that the lose condition was changed. In a game I played yesterday, three of us thought we had an identical card telling us to have each player use their fingers to display a number from 1-5, but we discovered that each of us had a different lose condition written on the card (e.g. anyone picking odd loses, anyone picking even loses, if the total is prime everyone else loses). It means that people who have played it before have no real advantage, but it's still a bit uncreative to have something like that repeated several times (there are similar cards for rock, paper, scissors and other such things, where anyone picking X instantly loses).

Yes. The object of the game is to place 5 cards in a row or sequence. You can play off of others cards.

No, they're not the same exact decks that are used in the anime. The first Yugi and Kaiba decks ever released were the ones that were used in the anime; however, since they're really old and no longer made anymore they can be $40-$60 which is totally not worth it. These decks are similar though and have some of the cards that were used in the anime (not sure exactly how many), and they come with either 2 Dark Magicians or 2 Blue-Eyes White Dragons (for Yugi and Kaiba's). I got both decks and would recommend them!

The game and all expansions come with the same cards. This is not a game like "MTG" where you get boosters with Randoms in them to build your own deck that you take with you to play. All the cards you need are in the box.

They should be able to learn it with little difficulty. It has similar rules to magic the gathering.

Yes you can make a really great deck with any booster. But you have to know what format you want to play in. Once you know that you will know what to buy. You might want to try buying a "bulk" or "lot" of magic cards to make a random deck to see how you like the game. Good luck.

This is the base game. Full board, encounter cards, health and mana counters, 16 chacters or something. Everything you need for hours of adventuring
