Meet Yugi, and his best buds, Joey, Tristan,
and Téa. They share a love for the newest
game that's sweeping the nation: Duel
Monsters!
Duel Monsters is a card-battling game in
which players pit different mystical creatures
against one another in wild, magical duels!
Packed with awesome monsters and mighty
spell-cards, Yugi and his friends are totally
obsessed with the game.
But there's more to this card game than
meets the eye!
Legend has it five thousand years ago,
ancient Egyptian Pharaoahs used to play a
magical game very similar to Duel Monsters.
This ancient game involved magical
ceremonies, which were used to foresee the
future and ultimately, decide one's destiny.
They called it the Shadow Game, and the
main difference back then was that the
monsters were all real! With so many
magical spells and ferocious creatures on
the earth, it wasn't long before the game got
out of hand and threatened to destroy the
entire world! Fortunately, a brave Pharaoh
stepped in and averted this cataclysm with
the help of seven powerful magical totems.
Now, in present times, the game has been
revived in the form of playing cards.
Meanwhile, Yugi's grandfather gives Yugi an
old Egyptian puzzle that no one can solve,
but when Yugi finally pieces the puzzle
together, his life is forever changed. The
puzzle instills Yugi with incredible powers,
and ultimately creates his alter ego, Yami
Yugi!
Soon after, the mysterious creator of the
Duel Monsters card game, Maximillion
Pegasus, kidnaps Yugi's grandfather and
Yugi is drawn into a Duel Monster's
competition that Pegasus arranged. Now
Yugi must duel his way through a tournament
and defeat Pegasus in order to save his
grandfather.
How will Yugi do it? Will the help of his
friends, his belief in the heart of the cards,
and the mysterious power of his magical
Millennium Puzzle be enough?
Giant monsters! Powerful magic! And
ancient Egyptian legends! Yu-Gi-Oh! King of
Games! is one action-packed adventure
series that holds all the cards! It's your
move.
