What is Yu-Gi-Oh?

In Yu-Gi-Oh!, two players Duel each other using a variety of Monster, Spell, and Trap Cards to defeat their opponent’s monsters and be the first to drop the other’s Life Points to 0. Players draw cards from their respective decks and take turns playing cards onto “the field”. Each player uses a deck containing forty to sixty cards, and an optional “extra deck” of up to fifteen cards. For more details on how to play, check out the Yu-Gi-Oh website’s Rulebook and Beginner’s Guide page!

Questions on the Event?

Q: How long will a Release Celebration tournament last?

The number of Swiss Rounds is determined by the number of Duelists enrolled in the tournament. Tournament Rounds for this event will be 50 minutes long. Since you can play all Rounds in a Swiss tournament, you should expect to be at the event for several hours.

Q: What is the time limit for each Round for a Release Celebration tournament?

Each THE CHRONICLES DECK Release Celebration TCG Swiss Round will consist of best 2-out-of-3 game Matches, with a 50-minute time limit.

Q: What happens if I am not done with my Match after 50 minutes?

If the Match does not finish within 50 minutes, the result will be a Double Loss.

  • When time ends in the Round, the Match is over. Neither Duelist may begin or continue any action that may take place in the Game.
  • If time expires and the Match has not finished it will be a Double Loss.
  • A Match is considered finished when one of the Duelists has either won two Duels or lost 2 Duels.
  • If a Duelist has won 1 Duel and the Match has not concluded after 50 minutes, the Match is a Double Loss
  • If the Duelists have completed 3 Duels without the Match finishing and there is time remaining in the Round, the Duelists will go into a 4th Duel.

Yu-Gi-Oh! Genesys Saturdays at Gnome Games Green Bay East

Yu-Gi-Oh! Genesys is at Gnome Games Green Bay East on Saturdays!

The latest format for Yu-Gi-Oh! Genesys has arrived at Gnome Games! We’re hosting Saturday tournaments each week at 12:00pm for this new format, with $5+tax entry. Like our Advanced Format tournaments it is Win-A-Match, Win-A-Pack, with OTS packs being up for grabs!

But what is Genesys?
A new format of play and deck building that allows for more potential cards to be used!

The Genesys rules are simple: 

    1. No Link Monsters or Pendulum Monsters are allowed. All other cards are allowed. The original field layout is used, with no Extra Monster Zones nor Pendulum Zones. 
    2. The standard Forbidden & Limited Cards list is not used. All those cards can be used, except Link Monsters and Pendulum Monsters. Usual limit of 3 copies max of any card still applies. 
    3. Deck construction uses a point system. Some cards are assigned a point value; most cards cost zero points. The total point cost of cards in your Main Deck, Extra Deck, and Side Deck (combined) cannot exceed the point cap for that event. 
    4.  The standard point cap is 100, but events can be run with any point cap, or even a zero-point cap! Official Tournament Stores can set their own caps for their tournaments.

Gnome Games is using the standard point cap of 100 for these tournaments. The 100 point cap is geared towards allowing players to use some otherwise Forbidden cards, but attempts to limit “First Turn Kills” that would otherwise be reliable because of their strength.

Konami developed a tool to help with deck construction in the Genesys format, available here:

There’s also a blog to help with learning this new format, as well as to keep up with changes as the point system gets adjusted!
