What is Yu-Gi-Oh!?

Yu-Gi-Oh! is a card game that is based of the popular Japanese animated series called Yu-Gi-Oh!. The game consists of players creating custom decks from various different monster, spell, and trap cards and battling each other. The arethousands are different types of Yu-Gi-Oh! playing cards, allowing for various diverse decks and games.

With the evolution of the Yu-Gi-Oh! show along with various spin-offs coming out like Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D’s, Yu-Gi-Oh! GX, Yu-Gi-Oh! Zexal, and Yu-Gi-Oh! Arc-V, the card game has greatly developed in its play style.

Project Background

We decided to re-create Yu-Gi-Oh! for our CMSC435: Software Engineering class here at the University of Maryland. This project is focused on implementing a simplified version of the Yu-Gi-Oh! card game, primarily through Python. The way that this game will work will be through a CLI.

The Yu-Gi-Oh! card game has come quite intricate over the course of the show and the numerous spin offs. For the purposes of our project, we will be using the original rule set from the Yu-Gi-Oh! game and will only be using monster cards for the game. Perhaps as the development continues, it is possible that we will continue expanding the bounds of our Yu-Gi-Oh! game.
