Is it possible to play Yugioh with a webcam on Skype? Like have it showing your side of the field?

I am getting into the Yugioh trading card game again. And I don’t know anyone that lives near me that plays it. I thought maybe playing Yugioh with other people online with real cards on Skype might be a pretty neat alternative.

    Hypothetically yes..but it would be very difficult. Cheating would be a problem as well. You wouldn’t be able to see the other persons hand. Also, the quality of the web-cam really does matter. You would need a very high quality web cam to pull that off, otherwise everything would be distorted. Games would also take a long time because you would have to show each other or explain the effect of each card you put down, if its not clearly visible on the web-cam. Your best bet is to go to a local tournament to play or bring the topic up subtly with one of your friends. You would be surprised, many people still are connected to this game somehow after "quitting" or secretly play.

    Yes, it’s good to have a webcam above the playing field so you can see everything but yes, you can.

    It’s quite possible, but i wouldn’t host tournaments using it. only for play testing or for fun duels.

    If your using it to duel your friend, then it’s good.
    You should trust your friend not to cheat and they would know what the card’s effects are.
    If not, you could read it out for them.

    I use webcam to duel and it’s great!
