History DrinkingGame / YuGiOh

* Drink whenever a duelist [[InactionSequence puts the duel on hold so he can tell his life story]].

* Take a drink every time someone uses an anime-only card. (If this is done post-Virtual World, have 911 on speed dial. With the recent strides Konami has been taking to release anime cards (especially the DOMA cards), this has been made slightly less risky. Just slightly.)

* Take a shot every time anyone takes a monster's low ATK/DEF stats at face value, and then take another if its controller uses that monster's effects to defy expectations.

* Take a drink when a protagonist wins a duel with less than 500 Life Points. Take two when they win with exactly 100 Life Points. Take three when they win with LESS than 100 Life Points left (Warning: GX is particularly fond of this one). Drink half a bottle if they win with Life Points that aren't a multiple of 100. Drink the whole bottle if they win with Life Points that aren’t a multiple of 50.

* Take a sip for every scene Ryou Bakura appears where he is removed in the anime. Take another sip every time he or his alter-ego mentions TabletopRoleplayingGames.

** Yami says 'aibou'. Guzzle if he shouts it.

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MhdFt6gA3uE Here]] are some more phrases you could play the drinking game with while watching the show. For those who cannot view this video, drink to any of the following phrases:
** "You're finished!"
** "Oh no!"
** Any variation of "ThisCannotBe"
** "YouFool"

* Take a shot every time anyone mocks or is puzzled by a low-ATK monster, and its controller unveils its effect right afterwards.

* Take a drink whenever NewRulesAsThePlotDemands is in full effect. (Warning; it's not recommended to do this with the manga or either original series anime, ''especially'' the Duelist Kingdom arc, unless you really hate your liver.)

* Take a shot every time someone calls out their monster's attack name. (The wiki has a [[http://yugioh.wikia.com/wiki/Attack_name list]] for reference.)

* Take a drink when a protagonist wins a duel with less than 500 Life Points. Take two when they win with exactly 100 Life Points. Take three when they win with LESS than 100 Life Points left (Warning: GX is particularly fond of this one). Drink half a bottle if they win with Life Points that aren't a multiple of 100.

** If both players are using the latest meta decks, take a shot [[RocketTagGameplay if the duel goes to turn 5]].
* Take a shot if you notice a player is playing a deck with very outdated cards. You are exempt if ''both'' players' decks are such.[[labelnote:*]]If it's an old archetype that has recently received new support, don't drink unless you know the deck isn't using the new cards.[[/labelnote]]
** Alternatively, switch your drink to something vintage, if able, if both players' decks are outdated.
** Add another shot if you notice the deck has no clear strategy and is a mishmash of cards and combos.
*** Toast to that player if they ''win'' despite the odds.
* Take three drinks if a player activates a Forbidden Card.[[labelnote:*]]If this is due to a different format (OCG and TCG have different lists), ensure which format's list you're using for this rule and its related ones.[[/labelnote]]
** Take two drinks for Limited Cards.
** Take one for Semi-Limited Cards.
* Take a small sip whenever someone loses or gains [[HitPoints LP]] This is a suicide rule if it is a mirror match between Aroma players, let alone a duel where at least one person is using Aroma.
* Liver-Poisoning Edition: Take a drink whenever someone does a Special Summon. Trust us, with the card's current metagame, be prepared to take a LOT of shots.
** If someone uses Maxx "C" and their opponent responds by [[CrazyEnoughToWork spamming Special Summons to try and make them draw their entire deck]], withhold from drinking immediately and just store them for this turn. Down them all if the player successfully decks out.

** Include the Draw Phase if you wish to kill your liver. Now be ''really'' wary of Generaiders.
* Take a drink if someone searches their Deck and puts a card into their hand. Take two if the card goes straight onto the field, or sent to the graveyard. Take three if [[https://yugioh.fandom.com/wiki/Ash_Blossom_&_Joyous_Spring Ash Blossom and Joyous Spring]] is activated in response to that, instead.
* Take a shot if someone activates a card effect from their Graveyard. (There's plenty.)
** Take two if it's right after their hand and field were just emptied, causing their opponent to be overconfident.

*** [[UpToEleven Raid the liquor cabinet]] if you had the privilege of witnessing a legitimate [[http://yugioh.wikia.com/wiki/No_Turn_Kill No Turn Kill]].[[note]]In the case of the "Exodia NTK", for it to qualify as legitimate, it's a good idea to have the opponent shuffle the deck thoroughly before the duel begins, so that there's no sleight-of-hand going on. The odds of that happening, assuming the player runs a 40-card deck, are '''1 in 658,008.'''[[/note]] Nice knowing you.
* Take a shot any time three copies of the same card exist on the field. Tokens are exempt from this.
* Take a shot if a monster is Xyz Summoned manually (Alternate Summon methods and Rank-Ups don't count) and it's not Rank 4.
** Feel free to [[SpitTake spit your drink]] if that monster is a [=CXyz=] or Number C monster.
* Take ten shots if you activate Pot of Desires and it ends up banishing all copies of a card that your deck absolutely needs. Take six shots if the same thing happens when using Pot of Extravagance.
* Take a shot for each player you find who doesn't use an Extra Deck. Take another if that player is not running Monarchs.

Wanna really [[TemptingFate test your life?]] Instead of Exterio, take a shot anytime [[https://yugioh.fandom.com/wiki/Red-Eyes_Dark_Dragoon Red-Eyes Dark Dragoon]] activates one of his effects and down the bottle if he leaves the field.
