Synopsis

A fantastic melding of cool teenage drama and ancient myth. Sitting by himself at the back of the classroom , 10th grader Yugi always has his head in some game or another. Until, that is, he solves the Millennium Puzzle, an Egyptian artifact containing the spirit of a master gambler from the age of the pharoahs ...Awakened after three thousand years, the King of Games possesses Yugi, and recklessly challanges all comers, whether school bullies or violent criminals to the Shadow Games. The stakes are high and even the most ordinary bet may result in weirdness and danger beyond belief.
