Other Games
Apart from Magic & Wizards, several other games have been adapted from the original manga, the most famous of which being:
- Capsule Monster Chess (Capmon) — a sort of pre-Mage Knight collectible miniatures game. Video game: Capsule Monster Coliseum
- Monster World — a role-playing chess game. Video game: Monster Capsule GB (available in Japanese only)
- Dungeon Dice Monsters (DDM), known in the Japanese manga as Dragons Dice & Dungeons (DDD) — a dungeon crawl board game where the tiles are created by unfolding the faces of 6-sided dice. Video game: Dungeon Dice Monsters.
Among the three, only Dungeon Dice Monsters and Capsule Monsters have been released as real collectible games by Mattel. Dungeon Dice Monsters wasn't popular, and currently no more new figures are released for it. On March 29, 2003, Mattel released the English version of the first booster of Dungeon Dice Monsters in America, under the title DragonFlame, but so far, only four of the seven boosters in Japanese version have been released, with the last one released in June 2003.

Famous quotes containing the word games:
“In the past, it seemed to make sense for a sportswriter on sabbatical from the playpen to attend the quadrennial hawgkilling when Presidential candidates are chosen, to observe and report upon politicians at play. After all, national conventions are games of a sort, and sports offers few spectacles richer in low comedy.”
—Walter Wellesley (Red)
“At the age of twelve I was finding the world too small: it appeared to me like a dull, trim back garden, in which only trivial games could be played.”
—Elizabeth Bowen (1899–1973)
