If it all goes according to plan, we'll be seeing both sides of this war and everything they have to offer. On the other, we have the Yorkist Faction led by Richard of York and his lieutenant, Christian Rosenkreuz, played here by Seto Kaiba. On one side, we have the Lancastrians led by Richard the 7th, known here also by his nickname, Yugi Moto. Quite a few of the characters here are named after their historical counterparts and I'll be trying to call them out as I see them. Many brave British souls died, and out of ashes came the rise of the Tudor Dynasty. We have been summoned by Simon McMooran to decide the winner of the 15th century War of the Roses also known as the War of English Succession. Once the Life Points of the opposing Deck Leader reaches zero, the match is over.īut of course! Our main character of your from the perhaps not so-distant future, where dueling has devolved into motorcycle dueling and being trapped in video games. The Deck Leader will then be used to lay down Monster, Cards, Spell Cards, and Trap Cards everything will be necessary as we make glorious war against the enemy. Each player has a keystone unit called a Deck Leader. Instead of our normal duels, The Duelists of the Roses features a grid system.
