It takes a mixture of strategy, planning, and a little good fortune to rise to the top in the Yu-Gi-Oh! TCG.Īt the 100th Yu-Gi-Oh! Championship Series event, it quickly became apparent that more players than anyone had anticipated had come to play in this special event. Two players face-off in a Duel, utilising cards that represent powerful monsters, magical spells, and surprising traps, attempting to win the game by reducing their opponents life points to zero. In Yu-Gi-Oh!, as with other trading card games (TCG), players compete using decks of their own design, using cards they have collected from booster packs and pre-constructed decks. Yu-Gi-Oh! is also recognised as the Best-selling trading card game, with over 25 billion cards sold as of 2011. ' We are honored that the Yu-Gi-Oh! TRADING CARD GAME continues to grow and maintain the top positions with GUINNESS WORLD RECORDS™' said Tomoyuki Tsuboi, President of Konami Digital Entertainment, Inc. Having now reviewed the evidence, GUINNESS WORLD RECORDS can announce that last year's 100th Yu-Gi-Oh! Championship Series, held in Long Beach, California, USA, is officially the Largest trading card game tournament ever held.Ī total of 4,364 Duelists (players) battled against one another in this event, breaking the record previously held by Magic: The Gathering Grand Prix Madrid, which attracted 2,227 players.
