Story
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. They meet Grandpa Muto at the Capsule Monster Shop, where he shows them how to make am 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 the Symbol.
Afterwards, Yami Yugi enters the first arena and defeats Joey easily. (He choose four Fire Reapers for his monsters and choose a land map disadvantageous to his monsters) 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 more on to defeat Tristan, Tea, Duke Devlin, and Grandpa, clearing the first arena.
In the second arena, Yami Yugi defeats Weevil Underwood, Rex Raptor, Mai Valentine, Mako Tsunami, and Mokuba Kaiba.

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 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.
