I'm thinking of making one just as a side project that may or may not impact my creative writing for a class I'm taking this Quarter. So I thought you guys 'n gals might give me your top ten rules for making a card game.
And Please! Just a list of ten things, or even just a few things. I don't want people coming on and starting arguments, it ruins the fun.

If you have money, screw the rules.
And its most of the time done on motorcycles.

Johan REmix If you have money, screw the rules. And its most of the time done on motorcycles. Abridged Series quotes do no help, and your post has nothing to do with creating a Card Game.

Points are usually a factor in determining the winner.
There must be deciding rules for altering points.
Different types of cards work well.
Give depth so the game isn't so boring.
Must not be dependent on luck all the time.

So please list things that would be helpful.

Underpowered cards are fine for a new game. Overpowered cards released too early could ruin the game.

I'd work on the creative part before working on the writing portion.

1) When creating cards, attempt to make it so that no single card in any expansion is deemed "useless" (looking at you, all fusions before E-Heroes). Balance is the key. Make no combo "the greatest thing ever" (ala Chaos/Yata decks). This also prevents you from needing a banlist.
2) Try to think how your older cards would flow with newer expansions and what effect they would have on both casual and competitive play. (release of synchro monsters overtaking that of fusion and the more recent release of exceed that will probably overtake synchro).
3) Make the game "available" to the common man. Try to keep four expansions (or more) in circulation at all time. This prevents the price of good, older cards from skyrocketing. This rule helps keep #1 in effect in-case you accidentally release cards that change the game too much.
4) Keep it interesting. Add a variety of background stories, character arts, and game conditions that will keep your Timmies, Johnnies, and Spikes entertained.
5) Establish firm rule-sets. The biggest problem in yu-gi-oh is that the rulings on cards are constantly changing because of wording on cards on being able to be deciphered. Keep it simple like MtG's Key-Words (Flying/Haste/Defender/etc.)
That's all I can think of so far. Anyone care to add?

As a writer I want things to sound realistic, even if its fictional writing.

D-wheels are not at all applicable in the real world, no matter how much you want them to be. You know what, why don't you build a fully functioning D-Wheel and post pics or a vid to prove that it works. Go on, we'll wait.

Wow. You, just stop posting here. The OP was regarding the basic and most important foundations you should follow, for a project, as how to build a collectible card game from scratch. This isn't about Yu-Gi-Oh!, this isn't where you make your stupid jokes, and it isn't about how 5D's can work in actual life. It's about how brotherofAnubis should go about making his own card game and what foundations he should follow. Now, in his second post, brotherofAnubis clearly replied that he doesn't want jokes in this place. So, what the hell are you doing, if not wasting his time? Shut up and leave, or answer what he's looking for.
