'''''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.)
+
'''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.

== Story ==

'''Special Zone:''' Players receive oxygen for the next 5 turns
−
In Campaign Mode, the player assumes the role of Yami Yugi as he competes in a Capsule Monsters tournament. However, both Yami and Yugi have no idea on how to play the game at the time, having been too eager to enter before learning the rules of the game. They meet Grandpa at his new Capsule Monster shop, where he shows them how to make an element Symbol that represents them in the game and allows them to purchase as many monsters as they can with the MP they earned making it. He also explains the eight monsters types: Light > Dark > Earth > Thunder; Fire > Wood > Wind > Water. In other words, having monsters of a single type is VERY dangerous, making enemy victory easier. 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 choose four [[Fire Reaper]]s for his monsters and choose 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".
+
If a player's oxygen is not replenished within 5 turns, they will lose 1,000 Life Points per turn until they do.

−
Yami Yugi leaves and moves on to defeat Tristan, Tea, [[Duke Devlin]], and Grandpa, clearing the first arena. 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.
+
'''Special Zone:''' A random monster from the sandy side of the board may be sent to the Graveyard, causing the player lose all the stars for that monster.

−
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 type-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 arch-rival Seto Kaiba is in the tournament as well.
+
'''Special Zone:''' The player rolls two dice with the '''B''' button. The outcome of the roll determines the effect of the zone.

Now having earned his way into the third arena, Yami Yugi faces [[Odion]], [[Marik Ishtar]], [[Bakura Ryou|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).
+
This stage is [[Death-T|Death T]]-4 from the manga. Its name is changed to Doom T-4 in the English version.

−
In arena four, Yami Yugi is shocked to find the possessed versions of [[Yami Marik|Marik]] and [[Yami Bakura|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 White Dragon|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 more ominous theme. Two orbs of light will twirl out of the sky and enter 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 types).

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

'''Special Zone:''' The player loses all the cards in their hand and must draw 5 more.
  
−
== Gameplay ==
+
It is unknown how may cards each player has in their initial Deck, as no one ever runs out of cards.
−
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 object 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. Monsters can fuse in the game, but you do not get the material monsters back afterward; only the fusion. Some terrain on the field can make a monster stronger or weaker depending on the monster's attribute. The total amount of monsters there are is 200.

−
*[[Weevil Underwood]] (Symbol: Wood ; Area: Ancient Forest of Origin)
+
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).

'''Area 3''':
+
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.
−
*[[Bakura Ryou|Bakura]] (Symbol: Dark ; Area: Moonlit Cherry Blossoms)

−
*[[Shadi]] (Symbol: Light ; Area: Limitless Sanctuary)
+
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.

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. 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 Yugi Muto's grandfather (Solomon or Trusdale in English) and the name of a 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 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.

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

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, and some of them had also been included in other video games or the manga.

With the exception of 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 monsters.

The following cards originate from the Virtual World arc of the anime and their only other appearance prior to this game was Yu-Gi-Oh! Reshef of Destruction:

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 card "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 Tokens", which are based on "Soldier Ari". The Token has not been printed as an actual card, but can be legally played if represented by another object.
