What to do if you can't run Yu-Gi-Oh Master Duel on mobile
If your phone can't run Yu-Gi-Oh Master Duel, we suggest that you check out Yu-Gi-Oh Duel Links instead. Duel Links is another popular mobile Yu-Gi-Oh game and the App Store description seems to highlight that it is really good for beginners, so that might be a great place to start learning the rules if you’ve never played the card game or watched the anime before. Duel Links doesn’t cross over with Master Duel, so you’ll need to start again when you get a device that runs Master Duel, but it might be a great tool to learn the basic rules and understand how the Yu-Gi-Oh game works in the meantime.
Of course, mobiles aren’t the only handheld device that can play Yu-Gi-Oh Master Duel. If you have a Nintendo Switch, you can head to the eshop right now and download Master Duel for free. You can get started on the Switch or any other platform, such as PC, Playstation, or Xbox, and then transfer your data to the mobile version in the future with the cross-progression mentioned above. It also has full cross play, so if you play on PC or console and want a friend to download the mobile version, you'll still be able to play together.
