Is it a game? A tv show? Some kind of card collecting activity? All of the above and then some? While Yugioh fanatics know everything there is to know Yugioh, Yugioh neophytes (that's you Mom and Dad!) can read this article and start to catch up.
Yu-Gi-Oh! literally "Game King" or "King of Games" is a popular Japanese anime and manga franchise from Kazuki Takahashi, that mainly involves characters who play a card game called Duel Monsters (originally known as Magic & Wizards), wherein each player purchases and assembles a deck of Monster, Magic, and Trap Cards in order to defeat one another.
Beginning as a manga in Japan in 1996, the Yu-Gi-Oh! franchise has since grown to an immensely successful global brand, spawning two manga series (split into three parts in the English translations), three anime series, and two movies, alongside a real-life version of the card game featured in the story, video games and toys.
Ok, you think you get the gist, but what the heck is a "manga" and although you may have heard the word "anime," you're not quite sure if it means anything more than cartoon. Manga is the Japanese word for comics and print cartoons. Outside of Japan, it usually refers specifically to Japanese comics. Popular manga is often adapted into anime (Japanese for animation) once a market interest has been established. Manga is sometimes mistakenly called "anime" even when not animated. Got it, folks? Now get to playing!
