Duel Monsters formerly Magic and Wizards is the name given to the card game played in the Yu-Gi-Oh! animes and mangas.
The first real life card game version of Duel Monsters was Yu-Gi-Oh! Bandai's Official Card Game.
The more complicated and currently popular real life version of Duel Monsters is Konami's Yu-Gi-Oh! Official Card Game (OCG). This uses far more complex rules which were introduced in later parts of the manga and anime. The Yu-Gi-Oh! Trading Card Game (TCG) is identical in structure and rules to the official card game, but up to 2009 it was manufactured by Upper Deck Entertainment under Konami's direction. Both versions contain the same cards, but there have been cards exclusive to the OCG and TCG.
