The diabolical Player Killer, a collectible-card gaming assassin, challenges Yugi to a duel. In the shadow of the Castle of Dark Illusions card, an army of lurking monsters hungers to steal Yugi's life points--and, if he loses, his actual life. But across the ocean in Japan, an even greater gaming force has been awakened. Kaiba, Yugi's number one rival, is back. Back to reclaim his fortune--back to get revenge on Pegasus--and back to make sure that this time when he fights Yugi, he wins!
