Read (You Gay Ho)
A stupid children's card game that is only the least bit popular because of the abridged series of its even worse cartoon/anime. The entire player base consists of complete social outcasts who no one wants to play with, especially anyone who plays a real TCG.
Interesting Notes
- Season 0 Yami Yuugi is a well known follower of Tzeentch (As if the Egyptian gig wasn't enough of a give away). His ability to combine both dickery and Just As Planned into his Yami No Games in such perfect order it most likely earned him the position of a Lord of Change, which would explain his powers.

- Yu-Gi-Oh was clumsily "advertised" by a cartoon for children about adults playing a children's card game, which shared the same name.
- The aforementioned program was so popular, they released a spin-off show called Yu-Gi-Oh GX, about children attending a university that teaches students how to play a children's card game (really).
- This spawned another spin-off, Yu-Gi-Oh 5Ds, where angsty emo teenagers play a children's card game on motorcycles, in a setting that's some sort of attempt at cyberpunk. Seriously, that's actually the premise.
- Now there's Yu-Gi-Oh! ZeXal, which is basically Naruto with card games instead of ninjas.
- Dan Green voices both Yugis.
- Adding insult to injury is the fact that the original manga/anime (Season 0) it was based on was actually pretty boss and only featured children's card games a few times (And even then, that shit was awesome). Mostly it was about Yami Yuugi punishing local bullies and scumbags by challenging them to a "Yami No Game", a dark and demented game of Yuugi's making with a stringent set of rules (That depends on the current challenge) that are meant to test the person's true character. If the person looses a Yami Game, or breaks the rules in any way, Yuugi will either kill them or give them such realistically horrifying hallucinations that they turn into a gibbering, hapless wreck. As an example, he once played table hockey with a puck full of nitroglycerin and blew the other guy to bits. In another game in the anime, he tricked an armed criminal holding his girlfriend hostage into pouring 90% proof vodka all over himself and putting a lighter on his hand. Ensuring that if he did anything wrong, he'd burn a horrible death. If those are not Awesome, I don't know what is.
