This story is great, and the ending is just hilarious. I could just imagine the shock of tiny little thief king. Now I'm gonna check if you've made any sequels for this. If not, please make one!

This is wonderful! I can see Ryou doing this as easily as I can see any of the manga scenes! He was always the one to set stuff in motion! (The book he showed up in wasn't originally going to exist-Takahashi was going to stop at #5) I hope you continue!

Nice story. I like the premise, and the ending was pretty great. I felt like Ryou was a little bit out of character sometimes, in that he was a little too bold. Ryou's more timid, at least in my mind. Anyway, nice job!

LOL! Great Job Ryou!

This. Yes. This is WIN. I wish I had something more constructive to add. Although I love how creative Ryou is, with both his work and his stories to the guards ^_^

I'm sorry, I can't think of a better intro to this review than, "Please please please continue this!" However, I read your profile and totally understand how it is to be a college student, so I don't want to make it sound like you /have/ to. ^^;

This does work perfectly well as a one-shot, but you also left a /lot/ of open stuff that can work as plot material for a full fanfic. The most obvious of which is the board coming to life. So, will the Pharaoh and Black Magician be added in? I'd to know more about the temple Ryou added near Kul Elna. And it'd be so cool to have the modern characters interact with the ancient ones - even if the latter are only a couple inches tall at most!

And outside of the board, there are the sarcophagi and Zorc's corpse that were left behind. I'm curious as to what will happen when those are discovered...

Now, onto the fanfic /without/ the theoretical continuation. ... Really, I like leaving constructive reviews, but I got nothin'. T_T It was /very/ well written. Lots of description like this, especially in fanfics, tends to lose my attention but this was great (maybe simply because of my interest in the subject... but still). I didn't see any major spelling or grammar errors. And I didn't see the ending coming! I should've expected something, 'cause otherwise this would have been a weak plot, but that was unexpected. Thief Bakura's reaction was great. =) And Ryou's.

So, yeah. It'd be awesome if you continued. Hm... I've forgotten the lingo around here, but you're on dA, so you'll know what I mean by this: I'm faving this fic. =D

:D Lol! Nice one, Ryou.

I kinda wanna see how this would continue! Very interesting!!

Please continue. I would rather like to see what happens, or what sort of adventures the Yugi-tachi could around the board game. Besides, It would be funny to see how the Thief-King reacted to a giant chibi pharaoh.

Higuchimon and Ryou VeRua have already said everything I feel and much more eloquently than I could have, but I couldn't stay silent, so just trust me when I say "I love it". :)

This fic is so beautiful. I would love for you to continue this! I'm sorry, I can't think of much in the way of criticism for the sake of improvement... You did make me question a few things though. Mostly about security cameras, and how the corpse was brought into the room and stuff like that, but that's a completely different story...

Anyway, if you can continue it, as I said before, I woud be ecstatic! If not, well, it stands alone very well. Either way, I'm going to favourite it.

Ahhaha this is awesome fic! I would love to read more. I hope you'll figure out how to continue it.

I guess the Thief King thought he had seen a part of a god or something. And maybe in a sense Ryou really is. He restored the board afterall. Since there wasn't much Ryou in YGO anime I hope you'll have lots of Ryou in this fic. Indeed the mystery behind the name "Bakura" was left unsolved.

So the shadow games are still alive. Surprising but lets see what you will do with it...

Keep up the good work!

oh my god this is fantastic! you simply MUST continue it! please?

LOVE IT! Keep up the great work and can't wait till the next chapter!

Looks really promising. Awesome job!

This was incredible, honestly. I had no idea that sort of an ending was coming and it took me by surprise, which automatically scores it a couple of hundred extra awesome points in my opinion. The care and detail that Ryou took in the restoration, how things just *came* to him, the fact you're writing both him and Yuugi in such loving good character, those are all points that I love deeply. And frankly, the Thief King's reaction at the end made me laugh.

I'm putting this on alert just in case you do decide to continue it, and I certainly hope that you get the right kind of ideas so that you can.
