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:
“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)
“In 1600 the specialization of games and pastimes did not extend beyond infancy; after the age of three or four it decreased and disappeared. From then on the child played the same games as the adult, either with other children or with adults. . . . Conversely, adults used to play games which today only children play.”
—Philippe Ariés (20th century)
