an invitation (fiddlesticks 1, video)
[ The video is focused on a silver briefcase, bearing an unusual 'KC' logo. On either side of it sit two young men in orange: one crouching down a little to fit in the frame, one bouncing up with a big grin. The taller one flips the briefcase open with a flourish.]
Hello to all our new arrivals. I'm Seto Kaiba.
And I’m Yugi Mutou. Nice to meet you!
I've heard your complaints about the gaming car lacking variety, and I'm here to present the latest addition: Duel Monsters. It's a game of skill. You choose monsters, spells, and traps for your duel deck, your opponent does the same, and you begin an epic battle. There are as many strategies as there are people---you can fully customize your deck to a degree most duelists can never dream of, because I have copies of nearly every card in existence right here. And they're yours for the taking, if you dare.
[ Yugi laughs. ]
You're so serious, Kaiba. Anyway, it’s fine to lecture them about all this, but wouldn’t it be better to show them a duel?
I was getting to that, Yugi. I’ve set up a card table in the game room. It’s not the format I’d prefer to use, with my duel disks it’d be a truly exciting spectacle...but it’s all we have to work with.
Is it all we have to work with, though? I kinda think we should do this in the gym instead.
...what, why? Fine. Gym it is.
[Yugi has a small smile of triumph for a brief moment before his focus was back on the broadcast He waves as Kaiba turns back to the briefcase.]
And be sure to stick around after, because we’ll help you build decks if you want to learn!

So a it's a strategy game, using cards? Am I understanding this right?

If I had all my custom equipment, it'd be a far more exciting spectacle. You'd see solid light illusions of my dragons in stunning detail.
But we'll have to make do with a more mundane experience. It's still a challenging, exciting game without all the flair. But I'll put my points toward that once the more immediate supply concerns are taken care of.

[ Luke couldn't help but smile faintly at the slight brag. Solid light, hunh? That was something he really would like to see; even the holocom back home wasn't really solid. Maybe if they managed to make it to a technological world, he could grab Kaiba and see what they could find to make that possible. ]
I admit, I'm interested. It would be good practice for me.
