Yu - Gi - Oh ! Destiny Board Traveler Yu - Gi - Oh ! Destiny Board Traveler , known as Yu - Gi - Oh ! Sugoroku no Sugoroku in Japanese , is a game created by Konami for the Game Boy Advance , based on the " Yu - Gi - Oh ! " manga . In this game , players can compete against computer - controlled opponents or their friends for control of the Destiny Board . The game combines the Yu - Gi - Oh ! Trading Card Game and a 5x5 game board . Each game board has a different theme , determined to by the character it belongs to . According to the instruction booklet for the game , Solomon Muto created Destiny Board and this is evident from him commentating throughout each game and being able to use his Super Power to alter the rules for the game . Setting - up the game . On the Title Screen , players choose whether the game will be single player ( 1 Player ) or multiplayer using 1 - 3 Game Boy Advance Game Link cables ( 2 Players - 4 Players ) and can access the Options screen to change various game setting . The number of players is selected by pressing the SELECT button on the Game Boy Advance system , and a game pack was required per person to play . In games where there is only 2 or 3 players , the computer will contol the other characters . Pressing the START button allows the players to select characters and set - up the Destiny Board . In multiplayer games , each player choose his / her own character from those available , but Player 1 chooses the set - up of the Destiny Board from those available , as well as the win conditions . Flow of the action . After setting up the game and confirming the win conditions , the action starts . The order of the players ' turns are determined randomly at the start of the game and throughout the game Grandpa Trusdale gives a running commentary on each player ' s actions . Each player is given an initial hand of monster cards ( no magic or trap cards are used in this game ) and from this hand players choose the cards they will set on the special Summon Die that is thrown at the end of each players turn . Player actions . At the start of each player ' s turn one card is drawn that respective player ' s Deck ( There is no limit to the number of cards in each player ' s Deck ) and a mini menu appears at the bottom of the screen . This menu enables players to set up to six of their available monsters on the Summon Die or view the destiny board from various perspectives . When a player rolls the Summon Die their character either moves or stays on their current square depending on the roll result . Characters . Twelve characters from the Yu - Gi - Oh ! series appear in Destiny Board ; however , only eight are initially available . The other four must be unlocked by entering specific passwords on the title screen . There are Super Powers players can occasionally use during a game to tip the odds in their favor for one turn . Super Powers do not have to be activated on the turn they are awarded but for most of the characters it is more beneficial to do so . Some of the characters abilities mimic and are renamed after Spell or Trap Cards from " Yu - Gi - Oh ! TCG " . The original Japanese version names appear in parenthesis after English version names in the following table . Non - player . Among others , the following non - player characters appear in the background : Stages . The stages of Destiny Board Traveler are made of Level Maps and Linkage Maps . The game board itself is a 4x4 square walkway . The corners of the board are known as Special zones , because different events occur when they ' re landed on . They are also where the players begin the game . Linkage maps . These are the formations in which maps can be arranged . At first only a single board map is available ; but up to six more map types can be unlocked as players win with different characters in 1 Player mode . When all seven maps are available , players can play with up to 8 fields at a time . Level maps . These are the areas which make up the Destiny Board itself . Each one is based on different locations from the manga series or generally specific to their respective characters . With the exception of the initial stage , Domino Park , these maps must be unlocked by winning with specific characters . Also only 7 new maps can be unlocked per game file , for a total of 8 fields . Dice types . In Destiny Board Traveler there are two types of die , a Summon Die and a Duel Die . Summon Die . The Summon die is the one players place their monster cards on . The player can put from 0 to 6 monsters on the die , and the level of those monsters determine the number of spaces they move ( e . g . if Blue - eyes White Dragon lands face up on the die , the player moves 8 spaces ) . The die has one Star face and five regular faces . If a player repeatedly taps the A button , the chances of rolling the Star face increase . Duel Die . The Duel Die is only used in the duels for control over a space . It can tip the duel in a player ' s favor or prevent them summoning any monsters at all . The die has one Attack / Defense reversal face , one reduce Attack / Defense face , and four miss faces . 7 Duels . To obtain control of a creep or opponent space , players must attack the currently occupying monster with their own one . Players use the monster whose card was face - up when the Summon Die was rolled . Players can choose to Attack , Defend or pass during duels . Like in the " Yu - Gi - Oh ! TCG " , the monsters ' Attack and Defense total determines the outcome of the duel over all . But , the Duel Dice which is rolled by both players at the end of the duel can determine the outcome this the attack / defense match - up . The victorious monster will either be summoned to the space or remain there , while the other monster is either returned to its owner ' s hand or sent to the graveyard . If the duel ends in a tie , both monsters are sent to the graveyard and the space becomes open to all takers . Note : Card Game reference Like in the " TCG " , L5 + can only be used in a duel if the player can pay the required sacrifice cost . L5 and L6 : 1 monster L7 + : 2 monsters Ultimate Dragon , F . G . D and God cards : 3 monsters Anime only cards . The following anime original cards from the " Waking the Dragons " arc appeared in this game . None of them appear in any official " Yu - Gi - Oh ! " media other than the anime and this game . All but three of them are Armor monster s . Promotional cards . The Japanese release does not include any promotional cards .
