Yu-Gi-Oh! media

Several of the fictitious games in the "Yu-Gi-Oh!" anime and manga series have been adapted into card, board and video games.

Card game

Other games

Apart from "Magic & Wizards", several other games have been adapted from the original manga, the most famous of which being:

* "Capsule Monster Chess" ("Capmon") — a sort of pre-"Mage Knight" collectible miniatures game. Video game: "Capsule Monster Coliseum"
* "Monster World" — a role-playing chess game. Video game: "Monster Capsule GB" (available in Japanese only)
* "Dungeon Dice Monsters" ("DDM"), known in the Japanese manga as "Dragons Dice & Dungeons" ("DDD") — a dungeon crawl board game where the tiles are created by unfolding the faces of 6-sided dice. Video game: "Dungeon Dice Monsters".

Among the three, only "Dungeon Dice Monsters" and Capsule Monsters have been released as real collectible games by Mattel. Dungeon Dice Monsters wasn't popular, and currently no more new figures are released for it. On March 29, 2003, Mattel released the English version of the first booster of "Dungeon Dice Monsters" in America, under the title "DragonFlame", but so far, only four of the seven boosters in Japanese version have been released, with the last one released in June 2003.

"Yu-Gi-Oh!"-related video games

All "Yu-Gi-Oh!"-related video games are produced by Konami. The English version video games generally use the 4Kids English anime names, as opposed to the Viz English manga names, which are nearly the same as the Japanese names. At Comic-Con 2006 Konami announced that the "Yu-Gi-Oh" video games had sold a total of 17.5 million copies worldwide.Verify source|date=November 2007 The newest game in each particular platform is listed first, followed by the second newest, etc. The Japanese version of the game, if any, is stated in the bracket. Each game generally includes a few promotional cards (usually three) for use with the "Yu-Gi-Oh! TCG".

The Japanese Game Boy Advance games with "Expert" or "International" in the title follow the rules of the OCG/TCG much more closely than the ones without. As well, "International" versions generally have multiple languages on all versions, and all versions of a given "International" title can play against each other via game link.
