Ah, no. It started as a game the ancient Egyptians would play in order to hone their skills as tacticians and sharpen their minds. The monsters were incased in stone tablets and were able to be summoned to battle.
Obviously things didn't go so well and they were eventually sealed away for about 3,000 years. A man stumbled across the sanctuary of the tablets and, inspired by what he saw and what was given to him, he started a... commercialized version of the ancient game.
Much less harmful unless you're playing a Shadow Game.
Really, the tablets should have never been rediscovered.
