Yu-Gi-Oh was created in 1996 in Japan by Kazuki Takahashi
and since it was released it has been hugely popular
in Japan. Actually, that is a bit of an understatement.
In Japan, the trading cards alone have sold
over three billion trading cards. So, it was
no shock that Yu-gi-oh! made its way to the western
world.
The basic story of Yu-Gi-Oh! surrounds a boy called
Yugi. Yugi is give the Millennium Puzzle which is
an ancient Egyptian artifact. The puzzle is suppose
to be unsolvable but somehow Yugi solves it and when
he does he is given a alter ego that will help him
protect the world. This is a good thing because the
world is about to need some serious protection.
Yugi and his gang of friends are, like any kids,
caught up in the latest trading card game that is
sweeping their community. This game is called Duel
Monsters and when the game is played the monsters
on the cards come to life. However, what Yugi doesn't
know is that the card game is a descendant of a five
thousand year old game that had previously threatened
to destroy the world.
Without a doubt Yu-gi-oh! is the next best thing!
