Konami invites fans to duel in style with official Yu-Gi-Oh! accessories

The Yu-Gi-Oh! TCG has gone from strength to strength in recent years and this momentum is set to continue in 2023. Duelists have a fantastic selection of high-quality products to look forward to and on top of that, they can use all their new cards in plenty of upcoming official Yu-Gi-Oh! TCG tournaments.

The prestigious, internationally renowned Yu-Gi-Oh! World Championship is due to return this year for the first time since 2019. The reprise of in-person dueling in recent years, whether in official tournaments or just for fun, has been enthusiastically welcomed by the passionate Yu-Gi-Oh! TCG community. The success of the Yu-Gi-Oh! TCG and the resurgence of in-person dueling has also resulted in a growing demand for official Yu-Gi-Oh! TCG accessories. These items, designed and created by Konami, are used by duelists to both look after and showcase their beloved Yu-GiOh! TCG collections.

Featuring stunning designs based on the Yu-Gi-Oh! universe, official accessories include Card Sleeves, Card Cases, 9-Pocket Duelist Portfolios and Game Mats.

Specifically designed to meet Yu-Gi-Oh! TCG tournament regulation standards, official Yu-Gi-Oh! TCG Card Sleeves come in packs of 50 and help duelists keep their cards secure and protected. The sleeved cards can then be carried in official Yu-Gi-Oh! TCG Card Cases, which are large enough to hold all the cards needed to duel with. These Card Cases are made from durable material, include a card divider and have a sturdy closure to ensure the cards will stay protected inside.

Designed with a secure side-loading design, official Yu-Gi-Oh! TCG 9-Pocket Duelist Portfolios include 10 pages to house cards in. By lacing cards front-to-back, duelists can store up to 180 of their cards in these Portfolios, which utilise an anti-slip feature to keep cards secure and safe.

Finally, official Yu-Gi-Oh! TCG Game Mats are the ultimate playing surface for duels: their smooth surfaces are vital for protecting duelists’ cards. Made with the highest quality material, these mats are the same size as the Game Mats awarded as prizes at official Yu-GiOh! tournaments.
