Legand 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 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 wasen't long before the game got out of hand and threatened to destroy the entire world! Fortunately, a brave pharaoh stepped in averted this cataclysm with the help of seven 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 installs Yugi with incredible powers, and ultimately creates his alter ego, Yami Yugi! |
