Where The Eternal Duelist Soul was a bare duel simulator, The Sacred Cards wraps its card battles in a role-playing structure based on the Battle City arc of the anime. You walk around Domino City as an original character, talk to familiar faces and challenge duelists in the streets, working toward the three Egyptian God cards.
The duels do not follow the official card game rules. Instead, deck building is limited by a Deck Capacity score that rises as you win, and monsters are summoned without tributes, which makes the game feel closer to Forbidden Memories than to the real card game. Players who expect real-world strategies can find this jarring, but within its own logic the system rewards gradually improving your deck. Konami published it in North America and Europe in 2003, followed by the sequel Reshef of Destruction.
Tips for Yu-Gi-Oh! The Sacred Cards
Win duels to raise your Deck Capacity; that limit, not the cards you own, usually holds your deck back.
Talk to characters around the city, since they often unlock new duels and story events.
