Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Monsters 4 - Battle of Great Duelist - Kaiba Deck (Japan) (GBC)

Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Monsters 4 - Battle of Great Duelist - Kaiba Deck for the Game Boy Color is an engaging magic card dueling game, based on the popular Yu-Gi-Oh! manga and anime series. This is one of three versions of the game, each focusing on a main character with unique starting decks and rare cards, and this particular version centers around Seto Kaiba and his powerful deck.

The core gameplay of Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Monsters 4 - Battle of Great Duelist - Kaiba Deck revolves around card duels following the basic rules of Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Monsters. Each player starts with a deck of 40 or more cards and 8000 Life Points. The primary objective is to reduce the opponent's Life Points to 0 by strategically using monster, spell, and trap cards.

A duel is divided into turns, and each turn consists of several phases:

• Draw Phase: The player draws one card from their deck.
• Standby Phase: Certain card effects are activated.
• Main Phase 1: The player can Normal Summon or Set a monster, activate Spell Cards and Trap Cards, or change the battle position of monsters.
• Battle Phase: The player can attack the opponent's monsters or attack the opponent's Life Points directly if their field is clear.
• Main Phase 2: Similar to Main Phase 1, the player can Summon, Set cards, or activate spells/traps.
• End Phase: Certain card effects are activated and the turn concludes.

A distinctive feature of the Kaiba version is that players will acquire starting cards and rare cards associated with Seto Kaiba, such as Blue-Eyes White Dragon or Lord of D. Collecting new cards is a crucial element for building a stronger deck. Players will face various characters from the Yu-Gi-Oh! universe, from weaker opponents to formidable Duelists like Yugi Muto or Joey Wheeler. Winning duels will grant new cards or points to purchase them.

Furthermore, the Fusion mechanic also plays a significant role, allowing players to combine two or more monsters from their hand or field to create a more powerful monster. Mastering the rules and deck-building strategies is key to becoming a great Duelist in Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Monsters 4 - Battle of Great Duelist - Kaiba Deck.
