Synopsis:
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!
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.
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!
We like it because:
We remember watching this classic on UK television - and we were hooked from the word go (who wasn’t?). From the epic battles between Yugi and Kaiba, to the unforgettable devious Maximillion Pegasus, for us, Yu-Gi-Oh! remains a definitive anime series and one that can be enjoyed time and again years after it was first aired. The original concept, and variation of imaginative monsters, made every episode an amazing spectacle. Now, fans can add this timeless series to their collection, starting with episodes 1-49 over a whopping 7 discs! It’s time to DUEL!
