Team Dueling

Team Dueling is a method of playing the Duel Monsters (Yu-Gi-Oh!) Trading Card Game that is introduced in Legendhiro's Yu-Gi-Oh! DF.

Rules
To play in a Team Duel, you need two teams of at least four players. Each team selects their best four players and decides in what order they will duel. The first two Duelists begin, using normal methods to determine who will go first. Each Duelist in a Team Duel begins with only two thousand Life Points. Once one Duelist is defeated, the next Duelist in line from there team begins. The duelist with the fewest cards in play and/or whose team has fewer wins makes the next move. In some circumstances, this can be the Duelist who just won a duel.

Additional Rules:


 * At any time, a Duelist may surrender their turn in order to increase the starting Life Points of their team's next Duelist by 1/3 of their remaining Life Points (rounded to the nearest fifty).
 * If a monster is removed from play until the End Phase, or until a later turn, or if a card is removed from play by the effect of a card like Golden Sarcophagus, and if the owner of that card is defeated/surrenders before the card returns to play, that card will return to play under the control of their team-mate, at the appropriate time.

Trivia

 * Team Dueling is the only unique form of dueling that is introduced in Legendhiro's story.
