Game Mechanics[edit]
The player views their hand and selects the 'Hourglass of Courage' monster card.
Each duel in the game takes place on a 7×7 table, with each player commanding a 'Deck Leader' that acts as the representation of their life points as well as the means through which cards are played from the hand—one card each turn can be placed on the board in a space adjacent to the deck leader. Each card on the field as well as the deck leader itself can be moved one horizontal or vertical space each turn. When two monster cards on the field collide with each other, they are flipped face-up, and a battle takes place in the same manner as the trading card game, with life points being subtracted appropriately. The duel ends when one player's life points are reduced to zero or when a player ends a turn with their deck leader completely surrounded by enemy monsters in their summoning areas. A duel also ends after 100 turns have elapsed, at which point the player with the most remaining life points is declared the winner.
Monsters can be 'promoted' with use in duels. When monsters survive face-up on the field, destroy enemy monsters, or inflict life point damage to the opponent, they gain experience (monster experience is hidden). When a monster accumulates enough experience, it will be promoted to the next rank. A monster must be promoted at least once in order to act as a deck leader. Some deck leaders have special abilities based on their type and rank, which include raising the strength of nearby monsters, increasing life points by a small number each turn, or being able to move two spaces each turn instead of just one.
A deck of exactly 40 cards is required to duel. Each card in the game has a 'deck cost', which is a value given to a card based on its strength. The game adds difficulty by forcing the player to have a lower overall deck cost than their opponent in order to duel that opponent, essentially forcing the player to have a weaker deck. Cards are obtained mainly through the 'graveyard slots', which is a slot machine that appears after each win allowing the player to obtain cards from an opponent's deck that were sent to the graveyard during the duel. Cards can also be obtained using codes in the deck builder menu or through 'reincarnation', which is where owned cards can be sacrificed to give three different cards of a slightly lower deck cost. Reincarnation becomes available once after every 5 completed duels, win or loss.
Each space on the 7x7 duel board has a certain terrain. Each type of monster has at least one favored terrain that gives that monster an extra 500 ATK and DEF bonus when engaged in battle on that terrain. Each type of monster also has at least one disfavored terrain that reduces the ATK and DEF of that monster by 500 points. There are also three special terrains: Labyrinth, which no cards are able to move onto except for a few monsters with special effects; crush, which instantly destroys any monster with 1500 or more ATK; and toon, which weakens every monster in the game except for toon monsters. Terrains include normal, forest, meadow, dark, sea, wasteland, mountain, toon, crush, and labyrinth.
Plot[edit]
The game is very loosely been based on the real-world Wars of the Roses, a series of wars fought between the House of Lancaster and the House of York over control of England in the 15th century. Yami Yugi (Yugi Mutou in the English anime and the original Japanese adaptations) assumes the identity of the head of the Tudor dynasty, Henry Tudor, while Seto Kaiba represents the head of the Yorkist clan force as Christian Rosenkreuz. Other characters from the anime similarly assume the roles and names of others who featured in the conflict.
The player assumes control of the 'Rose Duelist', who is summoned from an unknown time period to the year 1485 by a druid of the Lancastrian forces to assist them in defeating the Yorkists and regaining control of the throne. Both sides possess eight 'rose cards' which have sorcerous powers. The Lancastrians wish to obtain the Yorkists' white rose cards because Seto's forces are using their power to create a barrier that protects their territory, while the Yorkists wish to obtain the Lancastrians' red rose cards because Seto needs all 16 rose cards together to attempt a forbidden 'rose summoning' that would give the Yorkists great power. The Rose Duelist also needs all 16 cards together to conjure enough power to go back to their proper time period, and so the player is forced to pick a side.
If the Lancastrians are sided with, the Rose Duelist obtains the white rose cards by battling the Yorkist forces who are represented by antagonists from the Yu-Gi-Oh! series such as Maximillion Pegasus, Weevil Underwood, and Rex Raptor. The Rose Duelist finally defeats Seto for the last rose card at Stonehenge, but the victory is short-lived as Seto reveals that the power released from their duel (along with all of the rose cards brought to the site by the Rose Duelist) has fulfilled the requirements for the great summoning, and that he feigned allegiance to the Yorkists to force the Lancastrians to summon the Rose Duelist in the first place. Seto then summons Manawyddan fab Llyr, a powerful mythological figure known as the card guardian, who Seto plans to use to ensure his rule over England. The Rose Duelist defeats Manawyddan fab Llyr and banishes him from the time period, securing victory for the Lancastrians. The epilogue states that Yugi was crowned as the king of England and that it is unknown whether or not the Rose Duelist was ever returned to the time period whence they were summoned.
If the Yorkists are sided with, the Rose Duelist battles protagonists from the Yu-Gi-Oh! series such as Joey Wheeler, Téa Gardner, and Yugi himself. After all of the rose cards are obtained, Seto performs the rose summoning at Stonehenge, again summoning Manawyddan fab Llyr. This time, however, Manawyddan reveals himself to be the brother of Nitemare from Yu-Gi-Oh! Forbidden Memories and is furious that they summoned his brother in Egypt then locked him away again. The Rose Duelist is forced to defeat Manawyddan fab Llyr to undo the summoning. After the duel, Seto informs the Rose Duelist that he has been long searching for a true Card Guardian because an ancestor of his entered into a pact with one long ago (again referencing Forbidden Memories.) Seto leaves the Rose Duelist with his white rose pendant and his forces leave England, allowing the Lancastrians to gain control of the throne.

Successfully complete both the White Rose story and Red Rose story to unlock map edit mode in custom battle.
Duel Deck Master TSuccessfully complete both the Red Rose and White Rose campaigns and have a PlayStation One memory card with Yu-Gi-Oh! Forbidden Memories saved game data in slot 2. Go to 'Custom Duel', and instead of dueling Deck Master K, you will duel Deck Master T. Deck Master T's leader is Exodia The Forbidden One, and his deck only consists of magic/trap cards and the other four pieces of Exodia.
Duel Master SCopy the saved game from Yu-Gi-Oh! Forbidden Memories over to a PlayStation 2 memory card. Insert it in slot 2. When you are in Custom Duel mode, it will show Duel Master S with a Goddess of Whim Deck leader.
Starter decksDepending on the name used at the start of the game, you will get a different type of starter deck. Try names such as 'Konami', 'Rod', or 'Puzzle'.
Enter the names 'Kaiba' or 'Scale' and choose the monster with highest number (on the left) to get a Kaiser Dragon (2300/2000).
Look on the back of PlayStation 2 game cases. Look carefully to find sponsor names. Use those names as your name to get different cards. Not all names will work. Also, use the names of consoles such as 'Nintendo'. Leave out the numbers.
When starting the game, enter 'Katsuya' as a name and choose Fairy King Truesdale as your deck leader. Your deck will be packed with insect and plant monsters such as two Hercules Beetles, a Kwagar Hercules, a Needle Worm, and a Great Mammoth Of Goldfine. Side with the Lancastrians (Red Rose) and duel Weevil at Chester. There is a good chance that you will win.
Gain doubles of your cardsThis trick requires only one memory card in the memory card slot. Go into the custom duel and set your deck up so that your best cards are in there. Both you and the CPU's decks will have the same cards in them. When you win, the slot machine will be there and you can get your best cards repeatedly. This is very useful with Red Eyes, Blue Eyes and other cards that your have only one copy of.
Use the following trick to duplicate cards and promote weak monsters. A second memory is not required. Go to vs. duel and Duel Master K. Make the card you want to duplicate your leader, play the Duel Master in the default crush field. Note: Make sure you have some monsters under 1500 ATK. Do not use any field cards. Instead, Duel Master K will at the most send out one or two monsters. Destroy these and defeat him in battle. Because he has the exact same deck as you, he will have the same deck leader. In the slots, the deck leader will be there. Get the monster you want in the slots. The battle is easy. The longer the battle the better, as this helps promote weak monsters.
Getting good or rare cardsUse the following trick to multiply your good cards, get rare cards, and practice the Graveyards Slots. After clearing the game, the 'Edit' option appears in a custom duel. You can edit the terrain to make all of the summoning spaces around your opponent labyrinth. Once the duel starts, pass your turn and your opponent will be forced to forfeit. You will then be able to play the slots with only your deck leader (against Deck Master K) in with nine Fake Traps.
Move two squares at a timeWhen a monster gets a Terrain Field boost, flip it face up and it is allowed to move two squares at a time.
Lower opponent's monsters attack quicklyMove Mirror Wall either to the far bottom left square or far bottom right square. Put your leader next to it. Start securing your leader and Mirror Wall with monsters. Start advancing weak trap or magic cards (for example, Fake Trap, Forest). Mirror Wall will activate and your opponent's monsters will be too weak to battle. You will still get the monsters in the Graveyard, since your opponent attacks all facedown cards.
Raise your monster's rank easilyDepending on which monster you have, you should go against certain opponents. If the monster you want to raise in rank has an attack power of 2000 to 2500, play against Tristan. If it is lower then that, then play against Tea. If it is higher, go against Joey. First, have as many of that monster in your deck, then kill every monster with that card. Do not add power-ups or attack the opponent's LP with magic cards. You can then have more time killing the other monsters. Remember to kill the opponent's deck leader personally with the card you want to raise in rank. This will usually give you a big boost for raising your rank.
Level up your deck leadersNote: This trick requires the Map Edit option and a controller with a auto-fire or slow feature. First, build Labyrinth around your opponent, except for one space. Put the monsters that you want to level up on the field. Make sure you use Ookazi or Tremendous Fire, etc. Set the controller on auto-fire or slow for Start. When the battle is over, you will have more Deck Leaders.
Easy winUse the passwords to get Crush Card (SRA7L5YR), Mimicat (69YDQM85), Magician Of Faith (GME1S3UM), and Royal Decree (8TETQHE1). Reincarnate Crush Card to get Just Desserts. Keep combining the cards that not listed in this tip until you get the ones needed. Do not use Just Desserts until your opponent has five cards on the field and you have Royal Decree on the field. Use Just Desserts and inflict 1500 points of direct damage. The total damage will be 4500, which is more than enough. This strategy is effective against Grandpa if you want an Exodia deck.
Reincarnate cardIf you surrender five times, you will be able to reincarnate a card in your chest which will allow you to build your deck. Note: Getting five wins also lets you reincarnate a card. Press L3 to reincarnate.
Reincarnate more than three cards from oneWhen you get to the point of reincarnating cards, copy your game to a second memory card. Continue on the copied game and reincarnate a card. Save your game and exit. Place both the copied save game and the original saved game in the PlayStation2 and trade the reincarnated cards from the copy to the original. You now have three new cards, and still can reincarnate a card.
Repeatedly reincarnateTo do this trick, you must have activate the reincarnate option after you have played with the CPU five or more times. Save your game before going to reincarnate. Reincarnate any desired card, and if you did not like it, go to the main menu without saving your previous reincarnation. Then, go to 'Continue' to try it again. Repeat this processes as many times as needed until you get the desired cards.
Defeating Fab LyrrUse Royal Decree, Mirror Wall, and some good monsters cards in your deck. Make sure you have a Green Kappa monster in your deck (or more if possible). Fab Lyrr will most likely start off by playing Riroku (power-up that uses half of your LP to power up his monster) and a Skull Knight or something similar with over 2000 ATK. Once that monster is on the field, go into the crush territory with your leader, play the Green Kappa face down until you are in striking range of his leader, and attack. The Green Kappa's effect will increase his attack to over 4000 and destroy his leader in one shot.
Defeating Jasper Dice TutorFirst, defeat the Labyrinth Ruler until you get a Shadow Ghoul or two, Then, go to the Tutor and use the Shadow Ghoul. Enter the labyrinth areas to turn it into a Wall Shadow, then use Reborn The Monster or Mimicat (Magician Of Faith to get back magic cards) to go and dig out Shadow Ghoul again and make another Wall Shadow. Do this as many times as needed(at least twice recommended, but three is best). Then, use the Shield And Sword card to switch the Shadow Ghouls attack and defense and give it 3,000 attack points. Also, use the Ancient Tree Of Enlightenment or a Royal Decree to keep traps from getting the Wall Shadows. The Ancient Tree Of Enlightenment is better, because you can turn it off by switching to attack mode after you move (turn it back on at the beginning of your next turn before you move) in case you have trap cards such as Shadow Of Eyes, Mirror Wall, or Goblin Fan out. The following are the card numbers that are recommended: 043, 123, 152, 655, 685, 687, (699, 824), 705, 736, 754, 814, 829.
Defeating PegasusHave Ancient Tree Of Enlightenment in face up defense position. His effect allows no Trap cards to be activated when in this position. Use Aqua Dragon powered up with Horn Of Light. Move him into the Toonland terrain and keep advancing to Pegasus' deck leader. When your opponent attacks (or when you attack), Aqua Dragon's effect will be activated. The square occupied by Aqua Dragon will be turned into sea. This boosts Aqua Dragon's attack by 1000 points (up by 500 for not being in Toon, which decreases its attack and another 500 for terrain bonus). His attack will be 3250, which should be enough to defeat anything. You can also use the water as a path for Suijin or other water monsters. Pegasus has no Rose card to give you.
Crush territoryWhen you play in the crush territory, you can only play monsters with an attack power of 1500 -- be careful.
Immortal monstersAside from the normal monsters that have less than 1500 ATK and can survive in the Crush territory, there are Immortal Type monsters that can both enter the area, regardless of Attack Power, and gain a field power bonus of +500 points. When these monsters are destroyed in battle, they turn the surrounding spaces into Crush territory, literally leaving their mark.
Improved odds in Graveyard SlotsCopy Cat, Mimicat, and Monster Reborn allow you to manipulate the content of your opponent's Graveyard and help narrow down it down for the Graveyard Slots (revived cards go to the reviver's Graveyard when destroyed). Paralyzing Potion is another effective way to get monsters out of the way without sending them to the Graveyard, thus improving your odds in the Graveyard Slots.
This trick can only be used when there is only one monster in the Graveyard possible of getting, as when you use the 'Edit Map' trick. When using the slot machine, you can see the arrows on the side. As you can see, they are usually blinking. When they disappear, the card is on the other side of the slot. You can use this to your advantage.
Place the needed card in your deck and destroy it in a custom battle (for example, Komori Dragon for the Blue-Eyes White Dragon or Dark Magician for the Dark Magician Girl). It may be helpful to place more than one card in the deck for higher chances of getting the desired card.
Extra Graveyard slot chance with Robotic KnightRobotic Knight has a hidden ability that lets you have an extra shot at matching three cards in Graveyard Slots. It lets you now try to match three cards on the top row. You get this after you raise your rank to the first star with the yellow stripe.
New card pictureAny time that you gain a card through lining up three of a kind in the Graveyard Slots, you will get a new picture for that card in your chest. Some examples include: Blue Eyes White Dragon, Red Eyes Black Dragon, Summoned Skull, Gemini Elf, and Flame Swordsman.
Ritual monstersWhen using the Graveyard Slot machine after battle, get three cards that are required to get a ritual monster. If you do, you will get that ritual monster as well as the three cards. For example, win against Bones at Exeter and in the Graveyard Slots, get any Insect, Machine, and Zombie monster. Note: The cards only appear in the slots if they are used in battle; duel against opponents that have ritual cards.
Hidden ability as Dark MagicianIf you can raise the Dark Magician ranking to Major (star with the stripe), you will be able to perform the same extra slot try just as the Robot Knight.
MillenniumTo summon Millennium, you have to have Curse Of The Millennium Shield and two cards with 2100 DEF.
Strong attack with Millennium ShieldYou first need to have the Curse of the Millennium Ritual and three monsters over 2000 DEF. When you summon the Millennium Shield, make sure you have a Shield And Sword Magic card so that you can switch out the shield's defense to its attack, giving it a 4000 ATK.
Mirror WallMirror Wall (DC: 80) is a powerful card. Use it against a Blue Eyes. If any card (in this case Blue Eyes) attacks any of your cards, its attack is cut in half, making a Blue Eyes ATK 1500. If the card attacks again, it will be halved again, (Blue Eyes ATK 750). Blue Eyes can now be killed by the weakest monsters in the game.
Blue-Eyes White DragonReincarnate magic cards such as Mega Drain (DC: 75, Darknite with Chakra) or Creature Swap, and there will be a possibility of getting a Blue-Eyes White Dragon. Since Blue-Eyes White Dragon has a DC of about 55, try reincarnating high magic cards.
Red-Eyes Black DragonTo get the Red-Eyes Black Dragon, have Joey summon it. Defeat the Red-Eyes Black Dragon and get it in the Graveyard Slots.
Red-Eyes Black Metal DragonHave Joey summon it by combining his Metalmorph and his Red-Eyes Black Dragon. Defeat it, but you need to get the Red-Eyes Black Dragon and the Metalmorph in the slots.
Reincarnation with Barrel DragonIf you reincarnate Barrel Dragon, you will get three tough creatures or nice magics (for example, Sagna Of Thunder, Kazejin, Suijin, KaiserDragon, Harpies Pet Dragon, Skull Knight, Ryu-Ran, Coldwave, Solomans Lawbook, and Tremendous Fire).
Reincarnation with Magic DrainIf you reincarnate Magic Drain (DC: 60) you can get good cards such as:
- Sanga of the Thunder (common)
- Suijin (very common)
- Kazejin (common)
- Dust Tornado
- Skull Knight! (rare)
- Graverobber! (very rare)
- Fissure (sucks)
- Dragon Capture Jar
- Winspread Ruin
- Stainstorm
- Eternal Drought
- Dian Keto the Cure Master (extremely rare)
- Warrior Elimination
- Roaring Ocean Snake
If you reincarnate a Royal Decree, it will give you three Suijins.
Reincarnation with SuijinIf you reincarnate Suijin, you will naturally get good cards. However, the real payoff is that you can get Sanga and Kazejin. You can get them both at the same time.
Stronger attack with SwordstalkerAn easy way to give Swordstalker a strength of 3800 power attack points or more is to sacrifice all the monsters in your deck. Due to Swordstalker's special effect, it will become stronger than those of the CPU. If you have mainly a monster deck with three Swordstalkers, this trick will be very useful. Start by repeatedly trying to combine all of your monsters except for your Swordstalkers. Then, try to send out your Swordstalkers. It will have a power of a 6300/5900 or more. Try making multiple fusions with one card and destroy the card. For example, Zombie + Warrior = Skull knight + Hard armor = Armored Zombie. You will have four cards gone instead of three. Do not forget to destroy your last card with your own leader.
Zoa and MetalzoaFace J. Shadi in a match and destroy his Zoa card. Do not use Monster Reborn on Zoa. Just get Zoa in the Graveyard Slots then face Joey. Defeat him and make sure you destroy a Metalmorph. Win Metalmorph in the slots and combine it with Zoa to get Metalzoa (3000/2400).
Hidden cardIn most maps, there is a hidden card somewhere on the map. In order to get these cards you must move your Deck Leader over a specific location on the map. You may have to complete the game as both sides for these cards to appear. For example, in all the battles at Stone Henge, move your Deck Leader to the center of the map, in between all the labyrinth terrain. There should be a different card there against each opponent. To be able to find and get the hidden cards on the field during a duel, your deck leader must be ranked as a Major (one star and one yellow line) or better. You must also have a deck cost that is lower than 1000.
Hidden card locationsTo find the cards, your deck leader has to have the ability to find cards (Hidden Ability) and you need to have completed both sides of the story.
The Field layout is as follows:

Many of the monsters are Immortal Type (strong in crush territory) and very powerful in terms of their effects (Souleater is great). Most of the magic cards are those that destroy all monsters of a specific type (usually the type primarily used by the opponent you get the card against, for example, Cold Wave, obtained against Rex Raptor, kills all dinosaur type monsters).
