Oh! dear...

I don't like card games. Solitaire, go fish, poker, none of that has ever been terribly entertaining to me. This carries over to the fighting card games, excepting a brief flirtation with Magic: The Gathering in high school, and even then it was more for the pretty pictures than the gameplay. Card games bore me. And do you know what's even more boring than playing a card game? Reading about a card game being played!

So why, for the love of little fishes, do I like Yu-Gi-Oh so darn much?

Obviously, because I am weak. ( Warning: gratuitous overuse of the word cute. Minor spoilers, but mostly in the incomprehensible fangirl squeeing way, nothing that's gonna ruin it for you. )
