Since its release, it has surpassed every other card game to become the dominant one, even beating big hitters like Hearthstone and Legends of Runeterra. This game was so successful that it influenced a new paper format called Speed Duel, which replicates the digital mechanics in tabletop form.ĭuel Links is a contender for the most under the radar game on mobile. For that reason a faster and more mobile friendly version of Yu Gi Oh called Duel Links was released - in tandem with a revised version of the trading card game that was also simpler and faster - whilst retaining the elements of the franchise that made it.
That said, over time even great games start to show their age. Prior to Duel Links coming out, Yu Gi Oh games were pretty lucrative for Konami and whilst not as heavy hitting as the rest of the media properties within the IP, helped to consolidate and grow numbers of players interested in and buying the product. As of January 2021, the game is estimated to have sold about 35 billion cards worldwide and has grossed over $9.64 billion. The physical trading card game is what really propelled Yu Gi Oh to another level of popularity.

Impressively, despite its Japanese origins the series also resonated with audiences worldwide, joining a small list of Japanese IPs that have managed to become worldwide smash hits as well as hits in their country of origin. Whether by design or through fortunate coincidence, Yu Gi Oh became a media franchise spawning an anime, movies and most importantly of all a trading card game. The plot follows the story of a boy named Yugi Mutou, who solves the ancient “Millennium Puzzle.” Yugi awakens a gambling alter-ego or spirit within his body that solves his conflicts using various games, with battles between characters consisting of epic card duels. It was serialized in the Japanese pop culture sensation Weekly Shōnen Jump magazine between September 1996 and March 2004. Yu Gi Oh! is a Japanese manga series written and illustrated by Kazuki Takahashi.
