A booster pack is a sealed package of cards in trading card games. They are used in the Yu-Gi-Oh! Trading Card Game, Yu-Gi-Oh! Official Card Game, and Yu-Gi-Oh! Rush Duel, and are the primary medium of releasing and obtaining new cards.
Booster packs are normally available for individual purchase, but may also be available for purchase as a booster box, containing multiple packs. Booster boxes are often sold to stores in cases, unbranded boxes containing multiple booster boxes.
The contents of a booster pack are not known before purchase, although the pool of possible cards is. The exact number of cards in a booster pack and their rarity distribution differs between products. However, the number of cards and rarity distribution is normally consistent across a product line.

Video gamesEdit
This summary is currently incomplete. |
In many video games, the player can obtain cards by purchasing booster packs. The booster packs available in video games may be based on real-world booster packs, or they may be entirely original to the video game.
Depending on the game, the booster packs may be earned by defeating opponents, purchased with Duel Points or similar currency earned in the game, with premium currency (such as Gems in Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Links) that can either be earned in-game or with real money, or purchased directly with real money.
