Details
Although all players that play the game do not need to be completely familiar with all of the rules, the general game rules can be useful if one wishes to know more details or help solve specific rules that may come up during a game.

The general game rules are based on the OCG and it can be applied on TCG for the most part. However, there are differences between the OCG and TCG rules. For example, rule 100.2. states that a deck must contain 40 cards exactly, while there is no maximum deck size in TCG.

The general game rules are officially provided only in Japanese, but the rules are translated by Duel Masters Wiki users.
