As he splits the deck, Chen moves to sit on the other side of the table to act as Sion's teaching assistant. While he's not great at reading, he's memorized what each of the cards do by the artwork.
"Each player starts with 4000 Life Points. The purpose of the Duel is to get your opponent's Life Points to zero. The way to do that is to destroy your opponent's monsters so they have nothing to defend themselves, letting you attack their life points directly. I'll get into that more once we've drawn our cards."
He sets a stack of 20 cards on Sion's side of the table.
"Because we have so little cards since we're splitting my deck, I'll need to downsize how the game works. 2000 life points instead of 4000. At the beginning of each game, we flip a coin to decide who goes first. Then both players draw 5 cards. There's multiple phases to a turn. Draw, Standby, Main 1, Battle, Main 2, and End. At the start of your turn you get to draw 1 new card, which is why it's called the Draw Phase."
Marik pulls a coin from his pocket and places it on his thumb nail.
