'''''Booster 1''''' was released on March 1, [[1999]] as one of the very first [[Booster Pack]]s in the ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! Official Card Game]]''—preceded only by ''[[Vol.1]]'', which was released the month prior. Like all sets released in [[OCG Series 1|Series 1]]sets, ''Booster 1'' cards used the [[Card layout#Series 1 layout|Series 1 card layout]], distinguished from later layouts by the lack of a [[Set Number]] beneath the card's artwork and the [[Eye of Anubis Hologram]] in the its lower-right corner of the card. Like the other ''[[Booster (series)|Booster]]'' sets, ''Booster 1'' was distributed via [[Carddass]] vending machines.
Five of the cards in this set were reprinted from ''[[Vol.1]]''; the other 35 cards were introduced to the ''OCG'' in this set, two of which it introduced to the entire franchise. All but 17 of the cards have been reprinted in Japanese, and only 14 of them have been printed in the ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! Trading Card Game]]''.
