Shadow Realm Rules and Gameplay    The Shadow Realm is a very scarry place indeed! but don't fear our hero's are here to save us for now! The Shadow Realm is a place only found in your imagination. The Only way for a normal Human to enter the Shadow Realm is when they duel a duelist with the power of a millenium item or with the power to go between dimensions! In the Shadow Realm nothing is the same, duel monsters become real and the air becomes different, making it harder to breath on some. During a duel with a evil millenium item holder or a evil duelist with other world powers they may use the power of the shadow realm to try and defeat you, but don't be scared! If you loose the worst that will happen to you is your soul will be stuck in a never ending nightmar forever! The Shadow Real is the place where a duelist soul that isn't worthy to continue dueling. The Shadow Realm is the maion purpose behind the "Shadow Games", the old Eygption form of Duel Monsters, but with different rules. Here is how you play in the "Shadow Games":
* Each of you has a small deck of 40-75 tablets that you can control threw mythical powers, usually with millenium items. Those without millenium items usually invoke the spirit of the tablets threw chants or some strange calling to summon these monsters during a duel. Magic and Trap Cards are done the same way, usually just saying their name will use their power or effect.
* The Shadow Game type of cards are different from those we know of today. They still have fusion, effect, spell, trap, ect... but monster attributes are different, and some cards effects are different. back then the attrubutes had a big effect on the monster you used. Depending on the type of attribute you select fr your monster was the difference between 500+attack or -500attack. Back then also most magic and trp cards h ad different effects. Such effects are like the card graceful charity(draw 3 cards discard 2), then said "The power of this card is great, unlocking this tablet will inabel you to specially draw 3 cards from your deck, but when you attack you must have 5 cards."
*During these duels the amount of cards you have and the amount of cards you use was very different! You can only have 5 cards in your hand. When it is your turn to draw and you have less then 4 cards you draw till you have 5, always...Fusions do not need polymerization. If somehow you have more then 5 cards you must have 5 or less when you attack or the 6th will be destroyed. You can only play 1 card at a time, no matter what the card is. just 1. monsters of more then lv. 4 do not need tributes. you can play any without tributes :).
* The Shadow Duels are a fun thing to try, but when used with someone with magical powers it isn't fun. lol.

1.) All of those with Millenium Items.
2.) The Big 5.
