Based on the cards which appeared on the [[Duel Masters]] anime, [[Recursive Adaptation|which in turn were based on]] the [[Magic: theThe Gathering]] cards that appeared on the manga, the [[Duel Masters]] TCG proved popular enough on its own to compete with [[Yu-Gi-Oh!]] and [[Magic: theThe Gathering]] as one of the most played TCG.
 
Gameplay-wise is quite similar to it's [[Spiritual Successor|Spiritual Ancestor]] [[Magic: theThe Gathering]], having 5 civilizations (fire, water, light, darkness and nature) with cards that should be played by paying "mana" from your "mana pool". One big difference from Magic is that PRACTICALLY EVERY CARD can be used as "mana" (not only "terrains"), giving the game more flexibility against "dead draws" than almost any other card game. To win the game one must successfully attack his opponent directly, for which one must first destroy the "shields" (cards that are randombly set at the begging of the match as defense) and any other defense the opponent decides to play, while protecting one-self.
 
It spawned a few games for the GBA and for the [[PSPlay Station 2]].
 
While the game was canceled in 2005 in America (and worldwide), it still keeps on running in Japan.
 
Not to be confused with the American remake, [[Kaijudo (Tabletop Gamegame)|Kaijudo TCG]].
