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.
