    Omg thank you so much for this video! My nephew (8) has started collecting the cards and since i'm the "Gamer/nerd" of the family, they all turned to me to play with him and I didn't know how. So a HUGE thanks for allowing me to continue my quest is being the Coolest Aunt

    Learned and taught my 6yr old niece how to play as I got her some cards for Christmas. It's a pretty simple game, and she pretty much understood how to play after one game. I recommend getting a premade deck for about £10-12, they are labeled 1 to 3 (I think) and a level 1 deck was perfect entry for niece.
  • @Gw_fishes
    Thank you so much I wanted to learn and you made it so easy!
  • @nomeaknat
    Great tips! My nieces and nephews are really into this game and ask me to play on occasion.
  • @dbspurge
    Best tutorial I have watched yet ! Trying to lean the game to play with my grandson!
  • @jrkanaan
    thanks for this video I always thought it was too hard but it’s actually not that hard once you play it a couple times
  • @kiwikratos
    Great video. An overview of the Yu-Gi-Oh TCG would also be great!
  • @0hron
    You can also win if you knock out all your opponents Pokémon from the active spot or bench
  • @BiscuitTahat
    I have two questions, for the burn you said each turn, do you mean the players turn or both players turn? And for when you said after the coin flips aren’t working we can retreat but you also said the Pokémon can’t retreat? Those two things I was a bit confused on.
  • @Supernovaartistry
    Is there a way to randomize the 60 cards? Can i just pick my best evolutions for battle or my best basics, trainers and energy types, or is there a rule for how you choose or something?
  • @zacharygarrison4912
    Ok so im new learned to play it but just curious if i was to go by the official rules is it ok to use v decks against ex or should i use ex vs ex and v vs v
  • @zachthebossman
    What if you have a stage 3 pokemon but not the stage one or two does that mean you just can't use it?
  • @mohdameruddin7672
    How to play this game with a standard deck of 52 cards? 😂 Just kidding. Love this video anyway ❤🎉
