'''Yu-Gi-Oh! Ultimate Masters: World Championship Tournament 2006''', known as '''''Yu-Gi-Oh Duel Monsters Expert 2006''''' '''「遊戯王デュエルモンスターズ エキスパート2006」''' in Japan, and '''''Yu-Gi-Oh World Championship Tournament 2006''''' in Europe is a video game released in early Summer 2006 based on the ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh!]]'' franchise. The gameplay involves the player collecting cards in-game and using them to battle the computer players. Players may also (upon completing the Free Duel mode) battle against decks which they themselves have designed and saved. This game comes with three promotional Yu-Gi-Oh! cards enclosed; they are '[[Helios - The Primordial Sun]]', '[[Helios Duo Megistus]]' and '[[Golden Homunculus]]'.
This game contains every Yu-Gi-Oh card made in English at the time of its release, with the exception of [[Double Spell]], [[Kaiser Colosseum]], [[Gravekeeper's Chief]], [[My Body as a Shield]], [[Barrel Behind the Door]], [[Dragon Piper]], [[Spring of Rebirth]] and a large number of level 5 [[Normal Monsters]]. Unlike previous games, the cards collected from packs have direct correlation to those released for the TCG. Players purchase packs from the original [[Legend of Blue Eyes White Dragon]] all the way up through the recent [[Shadow of Infinity]] series. There are also specialized packs focusing on themes ([[machine]]s, [[spellcaster]]s, [[warrior]]s, etc.) and even by card type (all [[Effect Monster Cards|effect monsters]], all [[Normal Monster Cards|normal monsters]], all [[Spell Cards|spells]], all [[Trap Cards|traps]]). Additional packs are unlocked as you progress in the game. [[Elemental Hero Neos]] is featured in the game prior to his release, but is fairly useless without the other neospacians.
As with prior games in the series card passwords printed on TCG cards can be entered in order to obtain cards in the game. You can now get as many copies of each card as you want in this way (limited to one in previous games, except WCT 2005), but you must pay a fixed cost for each card (costs range from a few hundred [[DP]] to in excess of 10000 [[DP]] for [[Limited]] and [[Forbidden]] cards such as [[Pot of Greed]] and [[Black Luster Soldier - Envoy of the Beginning]]).
