In both the original rule book and the Exile rule book, there is no mention of having the option to enter or not enter the attack phase. The only information given is what to do in the attack step. This seems like an important bit of information missing since it then becomes unclear whether attacking is mandatory (at least in so far as you are able to pay for an attack) or whether you can just pass your turn after the main step and choose not to attack. Now, I have play Yu Yu Hakusho from the very beginning, and for what I remember, attacking was always optional (unless some card effect stated otherwise), but the lack of this being explicitly mentioned in the rule books has me doubting everything I ever knew...that is until I remembered Allure from Gateway which makes it pretty obvious that attacking is optional. |

I always thought the attack phase was a necessary phase to enter in order to complete a turn, but the player has the choice to use an attack or not attack at all. This is how my cats and I have been playing it, but hopefully a more experienced player can confirm. |

You must enter the attack phase, as it is the end phase of your turn. However, you are not required to make an attack during the attack phase, for obvious reasons. Any effects that would be active during the attack phase, will be activated unless they are optional. |

Just one small footnote for clarification on this. If the attack phase was optional, Malefic Grenade wouldn't have been such a problem. |
