In duel monsters, each player starts off with 40 cards and either 2000 or 4000 life points. There are 3 basic types of cards you may use
a monster card: You can tell which card is a monster by seeing if it has attack points and defence points. Some monsters are of such a high level that you need to sacrifice another lower level monster to summon it to the field. Some monsters have special effects. Be sure to read these before playing them.
a spell card: A spell card is usually a greenish blueish colour. These can be used to support the player or their monsters. They are played either from the hand or can be set on the field. They come in five forms:
Trap cards: are mostly purple and are used to put you oppenant at a disadvantage, usually when they activate the traps. They are set face down on the field and ordinarily cannot be activated on the turn they were placed down. Their usual use is to destroy the attacking monster, negate the damage, or possibly redirect the damage back at the opponent.
A duel is won by fulfilling one of the various conditions:
You set your cards down in a position such as this
_________
|_|_|_|_|_| <- these 5 spaces are for spells and traps. you may oly have 5 on the __________ field at once.
|_|_|_|_|_|_| <- these are for your monsters. You may have 6 on the field at on at once. If a card is played sideways, then that card is in defence position and even if it is destroyed, you will not lose and life points. When a card is destroyed, it goes into your graveyard and cannot be used again unless you have a specific card that allows you to do so such as monster reborn. Obviously the card with the higher attack points wins in an attack.
Ex. If I atacked your kuriboh (which has 300 attack points) while it was in attack mode with my Blue eyes white dragon (which has 3000 attack points) you would subtract 300 from 3000 (2700) and take the sum away from your life points.
but...
if your kuriboh was in defence mode and i attacked it with my blue eyes, kuriboh would go to your graveyard but you would not lose any life points.
most people think duel monsters is just luck of drawing the right cards, but it isn't only that...you must have a plan to defeat your oppenant using not only strong monsters, but spell cards and trap cards to back them up.
You may only play one card per turn and you may only attack once per turn. you may play as many spell and trap cards as you wish each turn. a monster in defence mode cannot attack. at the beginning of a turn, you can switch a monster in defence mode to attack mode and vice versa. you may not switch them back at the end of the turn and you may not attack with a monster and then switch them to defence mode.
at the beginning of each turn, you draw one card, even on the first turn. it doesnt matter how many cards you have in your hand. you don't discard any cards unless a trap or spell card is played that forces you to.
i hope i cleared this up and i apologize for my geekyness. for any more info go to:

It is played with a duel runner and a duel board. The duel can be initiated without the consent of the opponent with a field spell Speed World. When a riding duel starts in a stadium the MC will shout 'Riding Duel, Acceleration.'
Egyptian god cards and blue eyes white dragon are not allowed at duel academy in yugioh gx, because students could win easliy by using powerful cards. It is against the rules at duel academy, because the teachers can tell that those powerful cards can be use for cheating. if the student use a blue eyes white dragon or obelisk the tormentor on the duel field, it is very likely that the student will be expelled from duel academy.
