Yu-Gi-Oh! Rush Duel (遊☆戯☆王ラッシュデュエル, Yū☆Gi☆Ō Rasshu Dyueru), or Rush Duels for short, is a card game introduced in Japan alongside the Yu-Gi-Oh! SEVENS anime series.[1] It is currently exclusive to Japan and Korea.
Rules[]
A Yu-Gi-Oh! Rush Duel field
The rules for Rush Duels share some similarities to those of Speed Duels, but have additions of their own. These rules are the primary differences that Rush Duels were advertised as having:
- Players can Normal Summon/Set as many monsters as they want in a single turn. Level 5 and higher monsters must still be Tribute Summoned normally (there are also infinite Tribute Summonings).
- Players start the Duel with four cards in their hand. During their Draw Phase, the turn player draws cards until they have five cards in their hand. If the player has five or more cards in their hand, they draw one card.
- There is no limit to the number of cards in a player's hand.
- The player who goes first is still allowed to draw a card on the first turn.
- If a player would draw but does not have enough cards left in their Deck (e.g. the player has four or less cards in their Deck and no cards in their hand during the Draw Phase), that player loses the Duel.
Other differences in rules include:
- The field is similar to that of Speed Duels. Players have three Monster Zones and three Spell & Trap Zones and there is an Extra Deck Zone. There are no Pendulum Zones or Extra Monster Zones.
- Unlike Speed Duels however, players start with 8000 LP and can have 40-60 cards in their Deck.
- In Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Links, players start with 6000 LP instead and can have 30-40 cards in their decks.
- The effects of monsters on the field can only be activated once per turn while they are face-up on the field,[2] similar to a card in the TCG/OCG stating "Once per turn".
- Card effects list their activation requirements and costs on a separate line to their effect to make it easier to understand.
- All the [Requirement] and [Effect] of a card are treated as being resolved at the same timing. If the [Requirement] or [Effect] of the last used card meets the activation requirement of a Trap Card, that Trap Card can be activated without missing the timing.
- If 2 or more Trap Cards can be activated at the same timing, only 1 of them can be activated. The non-turn player chooses first whether or not to activate a Trap Card. If they do not, the turn player can then choose whether or not to activate a Trap Card.
- Like Speed Duels, there is no Main Phase 2. Rush Duels also do not include the Standby Phase.[2]
- Some cards are specifically marked as Legend Cards. A Deck can contain a maximum of 1 Legend Card of each card type.[3]
- In Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Links, Rush Duels inherit the ability to use Skills from Speed Duels.
Maximum Summon[]
Maximum Summoning is a summoning mechanic that is exclusive to Rush Duels.
To Maximum Summon you must have a Maximum Monster in hand, and the 2 monsters listed on the card (which have the same name as the Maximum Monster, but with [R] and [L] in their names). Then you Special Summon all 3 at once from your hand by having an empty field or by sending all monsters you control to the GY.
When Maximum Summoned, they are treated as 1 monster, so they have 1 Attack stat (which is on the middle part). It can also use the effects of both [L] and [R], which usually, 1+ or the parts has a Continuous Effect. And when the monster is destroyed or returned to hand etc, all 3 parts go with it.
Maximum Monsters also don't have any Defense, so similar to Links, they can't be changed to Defense Position or be affected by any cards that would use Defense.
Maximum Monsters may also be Normal/Special Summoned normally, which then they use the Attack and Defense listed on the card. But they cannot use their effects as they have not been Maximum Summoned.
Fusion Summoning[]
In Rush Duels, Fusion Summoning is similar to its counterpart in Master Duel.
To Fusion Summon in Rush Duel you must activate a spell card that triggers a Fusion Summon, for example, the spell card: "Fusion", which allows you to send monsters you control in your field to the Graveyard as materials and Fusion Summon a Fusion Monster from your Extra Deck.
There are lots of spell cards designed for certain decks, such as "The Ultimate Blue-Eyed Legend", which specifically Fusion Summons "Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon". Also, the spell card "Polymerization" is in Rush Duels, being a Legend card, it's the only way to Fusion Summon "Five-Headed Dragon" without other cards' effects'
Legal cards[]
Similar to the TCG's Speed Duel format, only cards produced for Yu-Gi-Oh! Rush Duel products will be legal in Rush Duels.[4]
Rush Duel cards use a new layout that is intended to be simple to understand and attractive to the eye. The art frames and effect text boxes are both significantly larger; the Level has been altered to a number over the Level star graphic and moved above the Type line alongside the ATK and DEF values, and the cards have "RUSH DUEL" printed at their base.

In the Yu-Gi-Oh! SEVENS anime, Rush Duels were created by main protagonist Yuga Ohdo as an alternative format that anyone can enjoy, in contrast to the "rigid and uncool" Duels run by adults.[5]. They also reappear in Yu-Gi-Oh! GO RUSH!!, also creating Galaxy, High-Dragon, Cyborg and Magical-types only available in Rush Duels.
