==History==
[[File:Pyramid of Alexander - Map.png|thumb|left|The game board in the [[Pyramid of Alexander]]]]
The [[World of Capsule Monsters]] is a parallel world, where monsters from the game are real. It operates under similar mechanics, such as monsters having different abilities and being strengthened by the Attribute in certain circumstances. [[Yami Yugi]] theorized that the game was invented by someone who had been to the World of Capsule Monsters.<ref name="cm 2" />
A map of the World of Capsule Monsters exists in the [[Pyramid of Alexander]], which was used to play an ancient version of the ''Capsule Monsters'' game. Stepping on the map transports an individual to the world. This happened to [[Solomon Muto]], who was soon followed by [[Yugi Muto]] and his friends. Inside this world, they played a real-life version of the game.<ref name="cm 2" />
