What is The Handtrap?
This is a website of 100% real news around everyone’s favorite children’s card game – Yu-Gi-Oh! Some articles might be broad enough to fit other trading card games too, but the problems of one are usually the problems of the others too.
Is this real news?
Real as in a human typed the words you see on the screen? Yes! Real as in sourced by a news agency that conforms to the usual standards of modern journalistic integrity? Probably not! Feel free to cite us in whatever paper you’re writing or send our articles to machine-generated aggregator websites – that’s always hilarious!
Why would you do this?
Our mission statement is to improve the critical thinking and media literacy skills of people in our interest group – mainly YGO players. Also it’s fun.
How often can we expect articles?
There’s no strict schedule, but you could expect articles biweekly. That means two every week. Or one every two weeks. Hm. If you want to be among the first when the articles drop, you can follow us on socials, whichever we have at the moment.
Who’s responsible for this?
You can blame everything on Jackson Leight (Bluesky linky). And while you’re there, you can also give The Handtrap account a follow (Bluesky linky). Thanks!
