Yu-Gi-Oh! Trading Card Game sets

See also Yu-Gi-Oh! Trading Card Game

A number of booster packs have been released for the Yu-Gi-Oh! Trading Card Game. Every booster pack up to Ancient Sanctuary contained around 110 cards (some have more, some have less), but they are typically sold in nine card packs, with each package featuring at least one rare card. Every booster pack set starting with Soul of the Duelist contains 60 cards. The only exceptions to this are the Dark Beginnings 1 & 2, as well as Dark Revelations 1, 2, & 3, which contain cards from past booster sets.

Where the starter decks are based on characters from the animated series, each booster pack has a different thematic element, which provides for new battle strategies.
