cerberus21 Posted October 19, 2009 Report Share Posted October 19, 2009 I'm sixteen and I haven't outgrown Yugioh yet. I don't watch the show or anything, but I just can't give up the cards. My dad makes fun of me all the time (in a light-hearted way). I'm thinking about going to a tournament soon, but I haven't gone to an official event since the Enemy of Justice Sneak Peek. Would I be out of place and older than most of the people there? I don't want to look creepy... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't want to look creepy...The thing is' date=' almost [i']EVERYONE[/i] at these sort of events would be your same age/possibly older. A duelists age is un-important. Just how long he/she has ben playing the game(....and possibly bieng good at it, at the same time) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cerberus21 Posted October 19, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 19, 2009 Phew... that's a relief. I've been playing since 3rd grade, but haven't been very good at it until fairly recently. I didn't get competitive until about six months ago. =3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Little kids look up to me because I won with an E-Hero Deck, and because they think "i'm wise". I only won because they were little kids. *shrug* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crimson General Posted October 19, 2009 Report Share Posted October 19, 2009 most people at my locals are like 20-25 I am 19 and proud to be a YGO playing nerd. It's fun, don't hold back on what makes you happy. I actually started playing only a year ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.:pyramid:. Posted October 19, 2009 Report Share Posted October 19, 2009 plz you never too old only as long and you dont mix you social life with it. because i love playing this game but, going out on friday night with mates is more of a priority, than wakking up for locals the next morning. i did try both, getting in at like half 2, and going back out at 8am, is never fun.but i know what you mean though, theirs a couple at our locals who need to grow up. and even when peeps take it too serious (which even i used to do) i find that even childish at times, but im now more selcetive with my duels, because even though i do want fun duels. i dont want them not to be crap duelist/decks i want to need to think and have a chat, while playing.i also find i talk more to the staff than the duelists at my locals aswell, and their is a little group of us like it.

Big Mac Posted October 19, 2009 Report Share Posted October 19, 2009 My locals consist of mostly people between the ages of 10-21 and a couple of adults. Your never really to old to play so much as your not being weird about it. EDIT: Im 17 and I play every week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zombiepromking Posted October 19, 2009 Report Share Posted October 19, 2009 There's a dude that goes to my card shop that's got a like a 5-year-old son, so no. Most of the guys i even talk to there are at least sixteen. So no, you're not out of place. Truly no one there is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hydra of Ages Posted October 19, 2009 Report Share Posted October 19, 2009 "Children's Card Game" is kind of misleading. In Japan at least, it was made to be marketed to teens (Hence, the overly violent and astonishingly bad Season 0 of the anime). When it got to North America, the distributor evidently thought that with the newly dubbed-down 4Kids version of the Anime, that it would make more sense to market it towards a younger audience. And for some reason, it seems to be marketed to younger and younger people with each passing season... I wonder why... Either way, it's a game of strategy. When it comes to Strategy, there really isn't an age you'll grow out of it, unless it becomes trivially easy. Considering the shifting meta and constant addition of new cards, I doubt yugioh will hit that for a long, long time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Lawless Posted October 19, 2009 Report Share Posted October 19, 2009 i'm 16, 17 in a month, but i stopped playing IRL. Just online, for fun and to try new cards, like Machiners Fortress :D either way, i kinda think there's a bit of a limit, but it's just a strategy game associated with children. You still see grown up people playing rated E video game and shizz, not a whole lot of difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wirespy Posted October 19, 2009 Report Share Posted October 19, 2009 A lot of people in my high school play yu-gi-oh, some of my friends are all senoirs and they play yu-gi-oh all the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jericho Posted October 19, 2009 Report Share Posted October 19, 2009 With all the timing ruling, and small details in the text, and priority, and the like I can't see how they can say its for six year olds besides that they want to sell the cards.

Guest PikaPerson01 Posted October 19, 2009 Report Share Posted October 19, 2009 *doesn't read topic* Considering most of the best players are in their mid twenties, I would assume... I dunno. 30? <_< Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luis2 Posted October 20, 2009 Report Share Posted October 20, 2009 I'm 20 and will never stop playing. How will I stop playing a card game that has Gradius and Big Cores in it? I watch the Yugioh animes too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flame Dragon Posted October 20, 2009 Report Share Posted October 20, 2009 Seeing as how most of the people that go to locals and have a basic understanding of the game are in their late teens, no you are not to old. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shadowferret Posted October 20, 2009 Report Share Posted October 20, 2009 I'm 18, been playing since I was twelve.Some people might say you're too old, but I've seen the average players turn out to be around 25, 26. Heck, there's a woman named Cynthia who plays at our locals, she's a little over 70. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

-Berserker- Posted October 20, 2009 Report Share Posted October 20, 2009 I'm 22 since some weeks ago. I'm just starting playing the game now that my university mates told me where they play. I still don't have a more than a bunch of cards, but now that I have a job, my own house and car, I think I can handle spending some money in making a deck. Note: The prices of the cards are the same here than in any other country, but due to the difference of our types of money, 8 dollars are a lot more here than there.
