Join us at Gnome Games Appleton East for our weekly Yu-Gi-Oh! Tournament!
Sundays at 1 PM we host our very own weekly tournaments for Yu-Gi-Oh! Battle it out in 3 rounds of a Swiss style tournament using your very own constructed decks. Each match won awards you with an OTS pack! If you haven’t received one by the end of the event, you get one just for participating!
Weekly tournaments are a great way to hang out, test out new decks, chat about Yu-Gi-Oh!, and more! Our entry fee is $5. Don’t have a deck? Check out our structure decks for sale in store! They offer great ways to pick up and learn the game, while highlighting iconic archetypes and characters from the franchise.
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!
For more Yu-Gi-Oh! information, take a look at their website!
Our calendar offers more Yu-Gi-Oh! at our very own Gnome Games stores!

Yu-Gi-Oh! Genesys is at Gnome Games Green Bay West on Thursdays!
The latest format for Yu-Gi-Oh! Genesys has arrived at Gnome Games! We’re hosting Thursday tournaments each week at 5:30pm 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:
-
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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: https://registration.yugioh-card.com/genesys/
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! https://yugiohblog.konami.com/category/genesys/
