And because I Liked Something About It, me and the wife bought the two starter decks and gave it a shot. We also Liked Something About the Pokemon cartoon (when it got good, er, better... whenever it didn't suck), and bought a few decks of that, and actually we both thought the Pokemon CCG was rather good, so this whole Yu-Gi thing might be good as well. And while I can kind of see the appeal of the cartoon, I cannot possibly see the appeal of the game. It does, in fact, follow quite closely the meta-thread of all those episodes, in that it is impossible to predict who is going to win until the game is over (unless one of the combatants is Yu-Gi). I have never played another game in my like that relies so heavily on blind luck, and which has so many options for obliterating your opponent's entire strategy with one move. We got so peed off with the ludicrous, strategy-destroying cards, that we stopped playing. Was it just me?</blockquote>
