The Duel Terminal itself looks like a traditional arcade machine, and has a variety of game modes, using cards from the Yu-Gi-Oh! Official Card Game. Players can either use a Deck chosen by the system, or the Duelist can use his/her own cards, provided they have ＤＵＥＬ ＴＥＲＭＩＮＡＬ (or “Duel Terminal”, on the English cards) where the Edition should be. These cards are recognized by the built-in card scanner, allowing the player to use the card in the game. “Duel Terminal Edition” cards are only available from “Duel Terminals”. The game itself is priced at 100 Yen per play in Japan, $1 per play in the United States and 30 pesos per play in México.
However, Duel Terminal cards themselves are not playable in sanctioned tournaments unless they have also been released in a more widely available source, such as Hidden Arsenal 2.
