North America, 
Europe (including the 
United Kingdom), and 
Australia.

Several browser and mobile games have also been released.
Gameplay[]
For most Yu-Gi-Oh! titles, barring specialist ones such as Yu-Gi-Oh! Dungeon Dice Monsters, the player must duel other characters with a deck of Duel Monsters cards, often created from a card pool. In many games, battling other characters in the game grants you in-game currency (often called DP or Duelist Points), that the player can then usually spend on booster packs; these reflect the random nature of card acquisition in the real world, with certain cards often being much rarer than others to find. However, some games have different mechanics for progression.
In most games, players build their decks using a combination of Monster Cards, Spell Cards and Trap Cards. Monster Cards are initially separated into Normal Monsters, Effect Monsters, Fusion Monsters and Ritual Monsters, with later games also offering support for Synchro Monsters, Xyz Monsters, and Pendulum Monsters.
Many video games also have cards available for play that are not available in the real-world formats.
Difference in official gameplay terms[]
Since many of these video games were released, many of the terms used in the official game have now changed. For example, the Fusion Deck is now called the Extra Deck, and removing a card from play is now called banishing.
