* Konami's early promotional card and starter boxes, made to be more accurate to the manga cards than the ''Carddas'' version, in an attempt to conquer the Duel Monsters license (it succeeded). This first group of cards resemble the manga version of the card game more than their finalized version of the TCG/OCG ([[http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/PrinceAlexandros7/Back-GBS1.png right up to the card backings]]), and their [[http://img594.imageshack.us/img594/5771/starterdecksb2jp.jpg starter box]] included six Star Chips and a deck holder to compete with Bandai's promotional movie set.

Slowly, the main game used as a plot device turned towards the trading card game ''Duel Monsters'', which was eventually revealed to be loosely based on an ancient Egyptian game played by the previous owners of the Millennium Items, and that Yugi's alternate personality was the spirit of a Pharaoh who had forgotten his memories. From then on, Yugi and his friends, find themselves fighting for their lives in their search to uncover the Pharaoh's name and memories. In the anime, the card game aspect is [[MerchandiseDriven multiplied by ten]].

Starting out as a [[Manga/YuGiOh manga by Kazuki Takahashi]], ''Yu-Gi-Oh!'' tells the story of Yugi Mutou, a put-upon teenager who is pulled into a world of intrigue and high-stakes gaming after solving the mysterious and ancient Millennium Puzzle. The puzzle, an artifact from ancient Egypt, grants Yugi a mysterious alter ego, who spends much of the early series facing evildoers who threaten his friends in "Shadow Games," where mystic forces punish the wicked if they lose.

From then on, Yugi and his friends, find themselves facing bad guys seeking to use the power of [[WeirdnessMagnet Yugi's Millennium Puzzle]] for their own nefarious purposes, and usually in Shadow Games of Duel Monsters.

Yugi's story was eventually completed, but the francise continued in {{Spin Off}}s with new [[AnimeHair spiky-haired]] protagonists - the Shadow Games may be gone, but Duel Monsters [[WeirdnessMagnet still has a knack for channeling supernatural forces]].
