Tenth-grader Yugi always had his head in some game--until he solved the Millennium Puzzle, an Egyptian artifact containing the spirit of a master gambler from the age of the pharoahs Possessed by the puzzle, Yugi becomes Yu-Gi-Oh, the King of Games, and challenges evildoers to the Shadow Games...weird games with high stakes and high risks

The four Duel Monsters semifinalists get ready for what could be the last duels of their lives. For Jonouchi, this means facing the evil Egyptian duelist whose grudge has smoldered for 3,000 years. If Jonouchi wins, his dream of facing Yugi in the finals will come true. But if he loses, he'll be stuck in a nightmare he can never wake up from.
