'''Yu-Gi-Oh! Destiny Board Traveler''', known as '''Yu-Gi-Oh! Sugoroku's Sugoroku''' in Japanese, is a game created by Konami for the Game Boy Advance, based on the [[Yu-Gi-Oh! (manga)|''Yu-Gi-Oh!'' manga]]. In this game, players can compete against computer-controlled opponents or their friends for control of the Destiny Board.  
+
'''''Yu-Gi-Oh! Capsule Monster Coliseum''''' was released for the Playstation 2 in 2004. It is based on the [[Capsule Monster Chess]] game featured in the manga. (This game was released before the ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! Capsule Monsters]]'' anime spin-off series.)
  
−
The game combines the [[Yu-Gi-Oh! Trading Card Game]] and a 5×5 game board. Each game board has a different theme, determined to by the character it belongs to.

The Japanese title is a pun on the fact that in Japanese, Sugoroku is both the name of [[Solomon Muto|Yugi Muto's grandfather]] (Solomon or Trusdale in English) and the name of a [[wikipedia:Sugoroku|type of Japanese board game]]. According to the instruction booklet for the game, [[Solomon Muto]] created Destiny Board. He makes comments throughout each game, and his Super Power can alter the rules of the game.
+
== Story ==
 +
<!-- TODO: A significant amount of text here is not actually related to the story. Should be moved elsewhere. -->
 +
In Campaign Mode the player assumes the role of Yami Yugi as he competes in the Capsule Monsters Battle Tournament. After creating a [[Symbol]] Yami Yugi visits Grandpa at his shop to get monsters for the tournament. Grandpa will sell the monsters in exchange for the [[Monster Points]] that Yami Yugi obtained from creating a Symbol, but first he explains that each monster belongs to one of the eight Attributes and each Attribute is strong against another. Using only monsters of a single Attribute is considered dangerous.
  
−
==Setting-up the game==
+
[[LIGHT]] > [[DARK]] > [[EARTH]] > [[THUNDER]] > LIGHT<br />
−
On the Title Screen, players choose whether the game will be single player (1 Player) or multiplayer using 1-3 Game Boy Advance Game Link cables (2 Players - 4 Players) and can access the '''Options''' screen to change various game setting. The number of players is selected by pressing the '''SELECT''' button on the Game Boy Advance system, and a game pack was required per person to play. In games where there is only 2 or 3 players, the computer will contol the other characters.
+
[[FIRE]] > [[WOOD]] > [[WIND]] > [[WATER]] > FIRE
  
−
Pressing the '''START''' button allows the players to select characters and set-up the Destiny Board. In multiplayer games, each player choose his/her own character from those available, but Player 1 chooses the set-up of the Destiny Board from those available, as well as the win conditions.
+
<!-- Gameplay info-->
 +
The Symbol also affects the monsters they control; for example, Dark monsters would be weakened by a Light Symbol. And if the Symbol is destroyed, they lose. The main way to win is destroy all your opponents monsters, leaving them with no moves. (Although one could also destroy the Symbol, but have less victory spoils, AKA destroyed monster, to choose from)<!---->
  
−
==Flow of the action==
+
Afterwards, Yami Yugi enters the first arena and defeats [[Joey Wheeler (Capsule Monster Coliseum)|Joey]] easily. (He chose four [[Fire Reaper (Capsule Monster Coliseum)|Fire Reapers]] for his monsters and chose a land map disadvantageous to them). Before heading off for his next opponent, Yami Yugi is told by Joey that if he clears all four arenas, a "new path will appear or somethin' like that".
−
After setting up the game and confirming the win conditions, the action starts. The order of the players' turns are determined randomly at the start of the game and throughout the game Grandpa Trusdale gives a running commentary on each player's actions.
 
  
−
Each player is given an initial hand of monster cards (no magic or trap cards are used in this game) and from this hand players choose the cards they will set on the special '''Summon Die''' that is thrown at the end of each players turn.
+
Yami Yugi leaves and moves on to defeat [[Tristan Taylor (Capsule Monster Coliseum)|Tristan]], [[Téa Gardner (Capsule Monster Coliseum)|Tea]], [[Duke Devlin (Capsule Monster Coliseum)|Duke Devlin]], and [[Solomon Muto (Capsule Monster Coliseum)|Grandpa]], clearing the first area. Duke and Grandpa prove to be skilled by choosing their land map and monsters to cover weaknesses while Tristan and Tea prove easier to beat due to inexperience. Tristan's stage introduces areas on a land map that can damage certain monster types that are not suitable for it. Tea's stage introduces occasional changes the map that occur the longer the match is drawn out; hers is a harmless snowfall and loss of Light power-up.<!-- Environment effects in general are already introduced in the first board.-->
  
−
===Player actions===
+
In the second arena, Yami Yugi defeats [[Weevil Underwood (Capsule Monster Coliseum)|Weevil Underwood]], [[Rex Raptor (Capsule Monster Coliseum)|Rex Raptor]], [[Mai Valentine (Capsule Monster Coliseum)|Mai Valentine]], [[Mako Tsunami (Capsule Monster Coliseum)|Mako Tsunami]], and [[Mokuba Kaiba (Capsule Monster Coliseum)|Mokuba Kaiba]]. Rex and Mokuba also have fields that can damage monsters; however, Mokuba's is attribute-specific. Mai proves the hardest to beat due to her strategic choice of monster types. Though Mokuba is confident in his skills (see Volume 3 of the manga), Yugi beats him and learns that his archrival Seto Kaiba is in the tournament as well.
−
At the start of each player's turn one card is drawn that respective player's Deck (There is no limit to the number of cards in each player's Deck) and a mini menu appears at the bottom of the screen. This menu enables players to set up to six of their available monsters on the Summon Die or view the destiny board from various perspectives. When a player rolls the Summon Die their character either moves or stays on their current square depending on the roll result.
 
  
−
==Characters==
+
Now having earned his way into the third arena, Yami Yugi faces [[Odion (Capsule Monster Coliseum)|Odion]], [[Marik Ishtar (Capsule Monster Coliseum)|Marik Ishtar]], [[Bakura Ryou (Capsule Monster Coliseum)|Bakura]], [[Bandit Keith (Capsule Monster Coliseum)|Bandit Keith]] and [[Maximillion Pegasus (Capsule Monster Coliseum)|Maximillion Pegasus]]. No real skill is needed for Bakura, since he's a novice like Joey, Tea and Tristan; Pegasus, Odion, Marik and Keith prove the strongest of the players here. Odin plays a simple strategy, so outwitting him is easy. Bakura and Keith's fields are neutral, having no special transformations. Pegasus and Marik have fields with different type advantages; however, only Marik's field literally changes based on where the monsters are moved (the field is composed of cubes that represent each element).
−
Twelve characters from the Yu-Gi-Oh! series appear in Destiny Board; however, only eight are initially available. The other four must be unlocked by entering specific passwords on the title screen.
 
  
−
There are '''Super Powers''' players can occasionally use during a game to tip the odds in their favor for one turn. Super Powers do not have to be activated on the turn they are awarded but for most of the characters it is more beneficial to do so. Some of the characters abilities mimic and are renamed after [[Spell Cards|Spell]] or [[Trap Cards]] from ''Yu-Gi-Oh! TCG''.
+
With only one area left to go, Yami Yugi proceeds.
  
−
The original Japanese version names appear in parenthesis after English version names in the following table.
+
In area four, Yami Yugi is shocked to find the possessed versions of [[Yami Marik (Capsule Monster Coliseum)|Marik]] and [[Yami Bakura (Capsule Monster Coliseum)|Bakura]] as opponents; each saw the match their other self had with Yami Yugi, so it's best to use new strategies. Other shocking news is [[Shadi (Capsule Monster Coliseum)|Shadi]] has taken part in the tournament along with [[Ishizu Ishtar (Capsule Monster Coliseum)|Ishizu Ishtar]]. Finally, Yami Yugi comes face to face with [[Seto Kaiba (Capsule Monster Coliseum)|Seto Kaiba]] and defeats him; interestingly, Kaiba only plays a single [[Blue-Eyes White Dragon (Capsule Monster Coliseum)|Blue Eyes]]. Shadi's strategy focuses on confusion and keeping his pieces from being bunched together. Kaiba and Ishizu cautiously send out monsters, keeping a guard around their symbols. Against the Yami (dark) counterparts, it's a (literally) pretty straight forward match, but their fields each have a nasty surprise.  
  
−
{| class=wikitable
+
As soon as this area has been cleared, lightning will strike in the sky and the clouds will become dark purple; the inspiring music also changes to a more ominous theme. Two orbs of light will twirl out of the sky and hit the ground, causing a towering fortress to emerge with a large gem shining on top of it. Both the Pharaoh and Yugi realize this is the new path Joey had spoken about before, meaning that the strongest opponents of the Capsule Monster Tournament wait within it.

With them defeated, Yami Yugi faces off once more with Kaiba (whose new field gives advantages to ALL eight of the capsule monster attributes).
  
−

== Gameplay ==

The game has some deviations from its manga counterpart. Both players have a piece called a "Symbol" (Which Mattel later called a King Monster) and a number of monsters depending on piece limit and amount of monster points to spend. The objective of the game is to use your monsters to either destroy all your opponent's monsters, or their symbol. After games, monsters can level up making them stronger in the next game.  Some terrain on the field can make a monster stronger or weaker depending on the monster's attribute. The total amount of monsters is 200.

==Stages==
 
−
The stages of Destiny Board Traveler are made of Level Maps and Linkage Maps. The game board itself is a 4x4 square walkway. The corners of the board are known as Special zones, because different events occur when they're landed on. They are also where the players begin the game.
 
−
 
 
−
===Linkage maps===
 
−
These are the formations in which maps can be arranged. At first only a single board map is available; but up to six more map types can be unlocked as players win with different characters in 1 Player mode. When all seven maps are available, players can play with up to 8 fields at a time.
 
−
 
 
−
===Level maps===
 
−
These are the areas which make up the Destiny Board itself. Each one is based on different locations from the manga series or generally specific to their respective characters. With the exception of the initial stage, Domino Park, these maps must be unlocked by winning with specific characters.  Also only 7 new maps can be unlocked per game file, for a total of 8 fields.

==Dice types==
 
−
In Destiny Board Traveler there are two types of die, a '''Summon Die''' and a '''Duel Die'''. 
 
−
 
 
−
===Summon Die===
 
−
The Summon die is the one players place their monster cards on.  The player can put from 0 to 6 monsters on the die, and the level of those monsters determine the number of spaces they move (e.g. if Blue-eyes White Dragon lands face up on the die, the player moves 8 spaces). 
 
−
 
 
−
The die has one '''Star''' face and five '''regular''' faces.  If a player repeatedly taps the '''A''' button, the chances of rolling the Star face increase.
 
−
 
 
−
===Duel Die===
 
−
The Duel Die is only used in the duels for control over a space.  It can tip the duel in a player's favor or prevent them summoning any monsters at all.  The die has one '''Attack/Defense reversal''' face, one '''reduce Attack/Defense''' face, and four '''miss''' faces.
 
−
 
 
−
==7 Duels==
 
−
To obtain control of a creep or opponent space, players must attack the currently occupying monster with their own one.  Players use the monster whose card was face-up when the Summon Die was rolled. Players can choose to Attack, Defend or pass during duels. 
 
−
 
 
−
Like in the ''Yu-Gi-Oh! TCG'', the monsters' Attack and Defense total determines the outcome of the duel over all.  But, the Duel Dice which is rolled by both players at the end of the duel can determine the outcome this the attack/defense match-up.
 
−
 
 
−
The victorious monster will either be summoned to the space or remain there, while the other monster is either returned to its owner's hand or sent to the graveyard. 
 
−
 
 
−
If the duel ends in a tie, both monsters are sent to the graveyard and the space becomes open to all takers.
 
−
 
 
−
Note: Card Game reference
 
−
 
 
−
Like in the ''TCG'', L5+ can only be used in a duel if the player can pay the required sacrifice cost.
 
−
 
 
−
'''L5 and L6:''' 1 monster
 
−
 
 
−
'''L7+:''' 2 monsters
 
−
 
 
−
'''Ultimate Dragon, F.G.D and God cards:''' 3 monsters
 
−
 
 
−
==Non-''OCG'' cards==
 
−

Yu-Gi-Oh! Capsule Monster Coliseum was released for the Playstation 2 in 2004. It is based on the Capsule Monster Chess game featured in the manga. (This game was released before the Yu-Gi-Oh! Capsule Monsters anime spin-off series.)

Game options[edit]

Story[edit]

In Campaign Mode the player assumes the role of Yami Yugi as he competes in the Capsule Monsters Battle Tournament. After creating a Symbol Yami Yugi visits Grandpa at his shop to get monsters for the tournament. Grandpa will sell the monsters in exchange for the Monster Points that Yami Yugi obtained from creating a Symbol, but first he explains that each monster belongs to one of the eight Attributes and each Attribute is strong against another. Using only monsters of a single Attribute is considered dangerous.

LIGHT > DARK > EARTH > THUNDER > LIGHT
FIRE > WOOD > WIND > WATER > FIRE

The Symbol also affects the monsters they control; for example, Dark monsters would be weakened by a Light Symbol. And if the Symbol is destroyed, they lose. The main way to win is destroy all your opponents monsters, leaving them with no moves. (Although one could also destroy the Symbol, but have less victory spoils, AKA destroyed monster, to choose from)

Afterwards, Yami Yugi enters the first arena and defeats Joey easily. (He chose four Fire Reapers for his monsters and chose a land map disadvantageous to them). Before heading off for his next opponent, Yami Yugi is told by Joey that if he clears all four arenas, a "new path will appear or somethin' like that".

Yami Yugi leaves and moves on to defeat Tristan, Tea, Duke Devlin, and Grandpa, clearing the first area. Duke and Grandpa prove to be skilled by choosing their land map and monsters to cover weaknesses while Tristan and Tea prove easier to beat due to inexperience. Tristan's stage introduces areas on a land map that can damage certain monster types that are not suitable for it. Tea's stage introduces occasional changes the map that occur the longer the match is drawn out; hers is a harmless snowfall and loss of Light power-up.

In the second arena, Yami Yugi defeats Weevil Underwood, Rex Raptor, Mai Valentine, Mako Tsunami, and Mokuba Kaiba. Rex and Mokuba also have fields that can damage monsters; however, Mokuba's is attribute-specific. Mai proves the hardest to beat due to her strategic choice of monster types. Though Mokuba is confident in his skills (see Volume 3 of the manga), Yugi beats him and learns that his archrival Seto Kaiba is in the tournament as well.

Now having earned his way into the third arena, Yami Yugi faces Odion, Marik Ishtar, Bakura, Bandit Keith and Maximillion Pegasus. No real skill is needed for Bakura, since he's a novice like Joey, Tea and Tristan; Pegasus, Odion, Marik and Keith prove the strongest of the players here. Odin plays a simple strategy, so outwitting him is easy. Bakura and Keith's fields are neutral, having no special transformations. Pegasus and Marik have fields with different type advantages; however, only Marik's field literally changes based on where the monsters are moved (the field is composed of cubes that represent each element).

With only one area left to go, Yami Yugi proceeds.

In area four, Yami Yugi is shocked to find the possessed versions of Marik and Bakura as opponents; each saw the match their other self had with Yami Yugi, so it's best to use new strategies. Other shocking news is Shadi has taken part in the tournament along with Ishizu Ishtar. Finally, Yami Yugi comes face to face with Seto Kaiba and defeats him; interestingly, Kaiba only plays a single Blue Eyes. Shadi's strategy focuses on confusion and keeping his pieces from being bunched together. Kaiba and Ishizu cautiously send out monsters, keeping a guard around their symbols. Against the Yami (dark) counterparts, it's a (literally) pretty straight forward match, but their fields each have a nasty surprise.

As soon as this area has been cleared, lightning will strike in the sky and the clouds will become dark purple; the inspiring music also changes to a more ominous theme. Two orbs of light will twirl out of the sky and hit the ground, causing a towering fortress to emerge with a large gem shining on top of it. Both the Pharaoh and Yugi realize this is the new path Joey had spoken about before, meaning that the strongest opponents of the Capsule Monster Tournament wait within it.

Inside for the title of Capsule Monster Champion, Yami Yugi faces off once more with the wielders of the Millennium Items: Pegasus, Ishizu, Yami Marik (who gets banished back to the darkness whence he came) and Shadi. With them defeated, Yami Yugi faces off once more with Kaiba (whose new field gives advantages to ALL eight of the capsule monster attributes).

Upon the defeat of Kaiba, the player has successfully claimed the title of King of Capsule Monsters.

Gameplay[edit]

The game has some deviations from its manga counterpart. Both players have a piece called a "Symbol" (Which Mattel later called a King Monster) and a number of monsters depending on piece limit and amount of monster points to spend. The objective of the game is to use your monsters to either destroy all your opponent's monsters, or their symbol. After games, monsters can level up making them stronger in the next game. Some terrain on the field can make a monster stronger or weaker depending on the monster's attribute. The total amount of monsters is 200.

Obtaining monsters[edit]

Shop[edit]

Main article: Shop (Capsule Monster Coliseum)

Monsters can be bought with Monster Points at Grandpa's shop. New monsters will become available in each area. Some monsters will only appear upon meeting certain requirements.

Opponents[edit]

After defeating an opponent up to 2 or 3 monsters can be selected. Only the monsters that were defeated will become available. A lot of monsters can only be obtained from one specific opponent.

Evolution[edit]

Main article: List of Yu-Gi-Oh! Capsule Monster Coliseum Evolutions

Some monsters can only be obtained through evolution. Monsters can start evolving at different Levels. Sometimes evolution only works on a tile/map with a specific Attribute Effect Strength. Some monsters have Special Abilities that can boost the Attribute Effect Strength to meet the requirements. When a monster evolves, it becomes a different, Level 1 monster.

Fusion[edit]

Main article: List of Yu-Gi-Oh! Capsule Monster Coliseum Fusions

Some monsters can only be obtained through fusion. When monsters fuse, they become a different, Level 1 monster. The original monsters are lost permanently.
