In order to get back home the player needs all 16 of the 'Rose cards.' 8 Red Rose cards are held by the Lancastrians and the 8 White Rose cards by the Yorkists. However, Christian Rosenkreuz shows up and then the player decides which side he or she is going to be a part of. The player assumes the role of the Rose duelist, who has been summoned to aid the Lancastrians by Simon McMooran, a Scottish Druid at Stonehenge. Yami Yugi assumes the identity of the head of the Tudor dynasty, Henry Tudor, while Seto Kaiba represents the head of the Yorkist forces as Christian Rosenkreuz. For example, the character Bakura isn't based on a historical figure named Bakura. Some characters simply have the same or similar names as their anime/manga counterparts and aren't based on historical figures. Most of the characters are based on characters from the Yu-Gi-Oh! anime and manga, but given names and/or roles to portray a historical figure. See also: Category: Yu-Gi-Oh!
