Yu-Gi-Oh! Secret Forces Booster Set

El Segundo, CA (January 14, 2015) – Konami Digital Entertainment, Inc. (KONAMI) is going stealth with the February 13th release date of The Secret Forces booster set. KONAMI's The Secret Forces (MSRP $3.99 per pack) introduces three new tactical squads of never-before-seen monsters, prepared to compete in the toughest tournament Dueling of the Yu-Gi-Oh! TRADING CARD GAME!

Duelists will be thrilled to unleash their new monster groups, the Nekroz, the Yosenju, and the Ritual Beast Tamers, in upcoming Duels. The Nekroz are a cabal who use the dead husks of Synchro Monsters to form sets of armor and hit the battlefield as powerful Ritual Monsters with multiple abilities. The Yosenju are a monastic order of Beast-Warriors with some of the fastest Summoning strategies ever seen. Yosenju can also boost their Pendulum Scale all the way to 11, letting them Summon and re-Summon Mayosenju Daibak, their powerful Level 10 boss monster that bounces cards back to the hand. And, the Ritual Beast Tamers, a band of Psychics who use their powers to commune with nature, team up with animals of land, sea, and air to form Fusion Monsters like Ritual Beast Ulti-Apelio that can bounce to and from the Extra Deck as needed.

This 60-card, all-foil booster set includes 32 new cards from these three monster groups, plus 28 carefully selected classic cards to supplement Duelists' Deck-building efforts, including the hard-to-find Preparation of Rites, which has been out of print for more than five years.

Duelists can watch all-new Yu-Gi-Oh! Zexal episodes every Tuesday as well as all of classic Yu-Gi-Oh!, Yu-Gi-Oh! GX, and Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's on www.yugioh.com in the United States. In addition, Yu-Gi-Oh! Zexal airs twice on Sundays on Nicktoons. In Canada, Duelists can watch episodes of Yu-Gi-Oh! Zexal every Friday and Saturday on Teletoon! For more information on KONAMI or the Yu-Gi-Oh!
