Yu-Gi-Oh! The Eternal Duelist Soul is a strategy card game that significantly develops cognitive skills such as problem-solving, strategic and critical thinking, memory, and reading comprehension. Players must analyze complex card interactions, anticipate opponent moves, and adapt their strategies to win duels. The game also fosters learning transfer, as the principles of deck building and tactical play can be applied to other strategic challenges.
