(I bet posting a thread for my first time is going to suck but here I go) I've been playing yugioh for a long time I remember playing back with the trading cards and I just have to say I love this game. 

(Pro-tips for better posting: More detailed is better. I know that from years of experience, also, always go over your spelling, cause people are going to criticize you for it.)

I've never played Pokémon, or Bakugan, or any of those trading card games, and to an extent I've never played YuGiOh. However, there was one time just last year when my friends wanted to play YuGiOh really badly, for whatever reason, and one of our buddies, YuZe (good name for a trainer, eh?) actually had been playing YuGiOh for a long time, so he showed us how to play, and for the lunch breaks all that month we stayed in and played YuGiOh. 'Twas fun, but then there was a big fight over YuZe and another guy (who is known for being very stubborn) not agreeing on the rules (YuZe was actually right, of course), and I've never played YuGiOh since.

As for the game, I tend to stay away from trading card video games. Really big time sinkers is what they are.
