| − | ==History==
| |
| − | Egyptians first allowed the Shadow Games. Using various means of sorcery, they send themselves into an alternate dimension where their duel would not be interrupted, and where cheating is strictly forbidden, punishable by death. In the Shadow Games, the sorcerers' skills would be tested by seeing how powerful of monsters they can summon, and how powerful a spell they can cast to power up their monsters.{{citation needed}}
| |
| − | | |
| − | The power of the monsters could best be harnessed by the [[Millennium Item]]s. Created for the purpose of defending Egypt, they were put into the possession of the Pharaoh and his six priests. However, Dark Bakura wished to steal the Items all for himself, and tried to take the Items, both in Ancient Egypt and in the modern world. To do so, Bakura must play Shadow Games.{{citation needed}}
| |
| − | | |
| − | In the modern world, the possessor of a Millennium Item can challenge another person to a Shadow Game.
