If you want to get extra hidden cards, you have to be in a duel with a duelists, in my example, when you are dueling Seto,Manawyddan fab Llyr(D.C. At 1891 or 1985). When you are dueling one of them take your deck leader right exactly in the middle of the battle ground and you will find a card for each one(one card per duelists).

This is the first game from the series to be released on PlayStation 2 format.
Upon its release, Yu-Gi-Oh! The Duelists of Roses received mixed reviews from most game critics, with many critics praising the game for its graphic design and appeal, but criticizing its tedious gameplay and lack of fair challenge. It was a commercial success though, being recognized as one of the best-selling PlayStation 2 games to date, selling over one million copies worldwide. In mid-2006, The Duelists of the Roses was named a PlayStation 2 Greatest Hits title.

Game Mechanics[edit]
The player views their hand and selects the 'Hourglass of Courage' monster card.
![Yugioh Yugioh](/uploads/1/2/6/3/126386202/924147524.jpg)
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.

Characters[edit]
See also: Category:Yu-Gi-Oh! The Duelists of the Roses characters
Most of the characters are based on characters from the Yu-Gi-Oh! anime and manga, but given names and/or roles to portray a historical figure. Some characters simply have the same or similar names as their anime/manga counterparts and aren't based on historical figures. For example, the character Bakura isn't based on a historical figure named Bakura.
Story[edit]
Yami Yugi assumes the identity of the head of the Tudor dynasty, Henry Tudor, while Seto Kaiba represents the head of the Yorkist forces as Christian Rosenkreuz.
The player assumes the role of the Rose duelist, who has been summoned to aid the Lancastrians by Simon McMooran, a Scottish Druid at Stonehenge. However, Christian Rosenkreuz shows up and then the player decides which side he or she is going to be a part of. In order to get back home the player needs all 16 of the 'Rose cards.' 8 Red Rose cards are held by the Lancastrians and the 8 White Rose cards by the Yorkists. The White Rose cards have created a barrier that keeps Yugi's forces out of Britain, effectively keeping the Yorkists in control.
![Yugioh duelist of the rose Yugioh duelist of the rose](https://www.specsart.co.uk/images/spe2/15371-nike-roshe-run-japan.jpg)
The player can choose the Red Rose for the Lancastrians, or the White Rose for the Yorkists. Each side has different opponents and different endings, but there is an option to restart the game after completion to travel the path you did not choose the first time around.
If you choose the path of hero, Seto respects your choice and lets you leave in peace. After meeting Yugi and learning more about the situation, you are returned to Britain, where you fight Seto's minions, the Rose Crusaders- Rex Raptor, Weevil Underwood, Labyrinth Ruler, Keith, Ishtar, Necromancer, Darkness Ruler and Pegasus Crawford. All but Pegasus will give a card as he does not have one; Seto keeps it on him at all times.
After defeating the Yorkist King in a duel to pass time, Yugi's forces will kill him and his forces in battle, leaving you to head to Stonehenge and retrieve the last White Rose Card from Seto. However, he reveals the duel to have been part of ritual, summoning Manawyddan fab Llyr to enact a pact to ensure his family has power. However, the player defeats the guardian, sending him back into nothingness, defeating Seto and being sent back home to the future, leaving the Rose Cards behind.
If you choose the path of selfishness in wanting to go home, you will face Yugi's friends and allies. However, unlike in the first scenario, it's basically a gauntlet - one duelist after another, no choice in who to fight. To get all the Red Rose Cards, you face Tea, Tristan, Mai, Mako, Joey, Shadi, Grandpa, Bakura, and Yugi.
Upon winning the needed cards to get home, Seto is quite grateful to you and summons Manawyddan fab Llyr to enact a pact to ensure his family has status and wealth through the ages, and yours as well. However, it turns out to be the wrong guardian, who is extremely angry that he has been summoned after his brother was summoned and sealed away in Egypt. Defeating him to save the world, the player is thanked by Seto for helping in his selfish plans, apologizing for the trouble. He gives the player a White Rose Pendant, vowing that if it's shown to his decendants, they will do whatever they can to help, making the 'Pact of the Rose'. Seto sends the player back home and disbands the Rose Crusaders, allowing Yugi to get past the barrier keeping him out and win his throne back.
Gameplay[edit]
Main article: Yu-Gi-Oh! The Duelists of the Roses Gameplay
The dueling rules differ from the ones that are in the present time in that they are under the 'Perfect Rule.' In this way there is a crude form of movement and a Deck Leader. Deck Leaders are monster cards that are needed to play cards from the hand; they represent your Life Points (LP). Any attack to your Deck Leader is considered to be a Direct Attack to your LP.
Card movement is a simple card moving rule where you can only move the cards left, right, forwards, or backwards on the field. This movement capability is multiplied when there is a terrain movement bonus. On a 'Favorited' terrain (depending on type), monsters get 500 ATK and DEF boost, similar to the fields in Duelist Kingdom. Only 1 card may be summoned per turn, and Summoning Points equal to the level of the monster are required to summon monsters. 3 Summoning Points are gained each turn.
Each card has a Deck Cost which can be used to determine the overall power of the card. Each card that is added to the deck increases the Deck Cost by the card's cost (e.g. a card with a cost of 24 will increase the deck's cost by 24). During the Campaign Mode, you cannot duel someone if you have a higher total Deck Cost than your opponent. This helps to keep players from completely dominating their opponent.
The Duelists of the Roses shows the monster itself hovering above the card when it is face up on the field. When monster battles are set to 'Display' in the options menu (which you can bring up at any time during a Duel) when two monsters come into contact the screen switches to a detailed arena representing the current field terrain with the two monsters on either side of the arena. After a few moments the two monsters battle and the winner then roars or dances its approval over the victory of the battle if it was the one who attacked.
Trailer[edit]
Trivia[edit]
- Some allusions are made to the events of Forbidden Memories by Manawyddan fab Llyr, before the final duel if the player sides with the Yorkists.
