To be Removed from Play (also called RFG or Removed from Game) is a term used to describe when a card is removed from the Duel by another card's effect. Once a card is removed this way, it cannot re-enter the current duel, except by a card that specifically allows it, like Return from the Different Dimension.

Originally, there were not many cards which could remove other cards from play. (E.G. Nobleman of Crossout.} However, over time, removal has become a popular theme, with several cards to go with it (Chaos and D.D. (Different Dimension) cards, for example.) And, in turn, more cards were created to bring them back (such as D.D.M. - Different Dimension Master, Dimension Fusion and Burial from a Different Dimension, for example.)

Removal is good for breaking strategies, especially when combined with a card like Fiber Jar, which reunites every player's Hand, Deck, Field Contents, and Graveyard, into a new Deck, but doesn't combine cards removed from play.

The Removed from Play Zone can be placed anywhere on the table, as it has no actual place in the game. however, most typically place it above or to the right of the Graveyard Zone.
