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 put different mystical creatures against one another in creative and strategic 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 Pharaohs 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 Games.  Since the game used so many magical spells and ferocious creatures, it wasn’t long before the game got out of hand and threatened to destroy the world.  Fortunately, a brave Pharaoh stepped in and averted this cataclysm.

Now, in present times, the game has been revived in the form of playing cards.

Meanwhile, Yugi’s grandfather gives him 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 an ancient spirit, and the two work together to form a stronger, more confident Duelist.

Soon after, the mysterious creator of the Duel Monsters card game, Maximillion Pegasus, kidnaps Yugi’s grandfather, and Yugi is drawn into a Duel Monsters 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! is one action-packed adventure series that holds all the cards!  It’s your move!
