'''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. 

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.

==Setting-up the game==
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.

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.

==Flow of the action==
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.

===Player actions===
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==
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''.

The original Japanese version names appear in parenthesis after English version names in the following table.

==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.

==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==
Several of the cards featured in ''Destiny Board Traveler'' had not appeared in the ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! Official Card Game]]'' (''OCG'') or ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! Trading Card Game]]'' (''TCG'') at the time of the game's release, though they had previously appeared in the [[Yu-Gi-Oh! (anime)|''Yu-Gi-Oh!'' anime]], and some of them had also been included in other video games or the [[Yu-Gi-Oh! (manga)|manga]].

With the exception of [[Electromagnetic Bagworm (DBT)|Electromagnetic Turtle]], the following cards all originate from the [[Waking the Dragons]] arc of the anime, which was their only appearance prior to this game. The majority of them are [[Armor monster]]s.
* [[Electromagnetic Bagworm (DBT)|Electromagnetic Turtle]] (since released)
* [[Backup Gardna]]
* [[Guardian Aetos|Guardian Eatos]] (since released)
* [[Blue Flame Swordsman (DBT)|Blue Flame Swordsman]] (since released)

* [[Black Hole Shield]]
* [[Burning]]
* [[Buster Knuckle]]

The following cards originate from the [[Virtual World (arc)|Virtual World]] arc of the anime and their only other appearance prior to this game was ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! Reshef of Destruction]]'':
* [[Aeris (DBT)|Aeris]]
* [[Aqua Serpent (DBT)|Aqua Serpent]]
* [[Command Angel (DBT)|Command Angel]]
* [[Giant Rex (DBT)|Giant Rex]] (since released)

* [[Last Tusk Mammoth (DBT)|Last Tusk Mammoth]]
* [[Orgoth the Relentless (DBT)|Orgoth the Relentless]] (since released; appeared in other media even sooner as a ''[[Dungeon Dice Monsters]]'' piece)
* [[Perfect Machine King (DBT)|Perfect Machine King]] (since released)
* [[Penguin Torpedo (DBT)|Penguin Torpedo]] (since released)
* [[Ruklamba the Spirit King (DBT)|Ruklamba the Spirit King]]

The alternative forms of "The Winged Dragon of Ra" appeared in the manga and anime, but before this game were only represented as distinct cards in ''Reshef of Destruction''.
* [[The Winged Dragon of Ra (Phoenix Mode) (DBT)|The Winged Dragon of Ra [Phoenix Mode{{)!}}]] (since released)
* [[The Winged Dragon of Ra (Sphere Mode) (DBT)|The Winged Dragon of Ra [Sphere Mode{{)!}}]] (since released)

The card "[[Soldier Ari (DBT)|Soldier Ari]]" had previously appeared in the manga, anime and a number of video games. It does not exist in the ''OCG'' or ''TCG'', but the card "[[Multiplication of Ants]]" is capable of Summoning "[[Army Ant Token]]s", which are based on "Soldier Ari". The [[Monster Token|Token]] has not been printed as an actual card, but can be legally played if represented by another object.

==Promotional cards==
The Japanese release does not include any promotional cards.

== Errors ==
* "[[Psycho-Puppet (DBT)|Big Koala]]" has the name "[[Psycho-Puppet]]" in English.
* "[[Electromagnetic Bagworm (DBT)|Electromagnetic Turtle]]" has the name "[[Electromagnetic Bagworm]]" in English.

== Trivia ==
* Yugi and Yami Yugi both have the same cry when losing, which uses Yami Yugi's voice.
