The '''field'''<ref>In English, the term is in sentence case.

Game mats (or play mats) and [[Duel Disk]]s are often used as fields.

* The top left Zone is the [[Field Card Zone]]. Only 1 [[Field Spell Card]] may be active at any time, and any new card that is activated here destroys one on the other side of the field, if present. You may activate a [[Field Spell Card]] if there is one already present on your side of the field. Your previous [[Field Spell Card]] would be destroyed and replaced with the new one. A [[Field Spell Card]] may be also be [[Set]] here, instead of [[Activate]]d. If it is [[Set]], and there is already a [[Field Spell Card]] on your opponent's side of the field, that [[Field Spell Card]] is not [[destroy]]ed.

* The 5 Zones in middle of the first row are the [[Monster Card Zone]]s. Placing a Monster Card Horizontally represents [[Defense Position]], and placing one vertically represents [[Attack Position]]. [[Defense Position]] monsters can be either face-down, or face-up, but can only be [[Set]] to the field [[face-down]], unlike in the anime, where you could summon in [[face-up]] [[Defense Position]]. [[Attack Position]] cards can only be [[face-up]], except by the effect of "[[Darkness Approaches]]". If all 5 Monster Card Zones are occupied, you cannot Summon another monster, unless you [[Tribute]] one or more first.
 
−
* The top right Zone is your [[Graveyard Zone]], where your [[Graveyard]] is kept, also known as the "Discard Pile". Cards destroyed on the field, or [[discard]]ed from the [[hand]] are sent here, unless specified otherwise.
 
−
* The bottom left Zone is your [[Extra Deck Zone]] where the [[Extra Deck]] is kept [[face-down]] at all times. Here is the only place you may keep [[Fusion Monsters]], [[Synchro Monsters]] and [[Xyz Monsters]] prior to them being Summoned to the field. Before the introduction of [[Synchro Monsters]], this space was known as the [[Fusion Deck Zone]].
 
−
* The 5 Zones in the middle of the second row are your [[Spell & Trap Card Zone]]s, also abbreviated as S/T Zones. They were originally called [[Magic Cards|Magic]] and [[Trap Card]] Zones, or M/T Zones, before Magic Cards were renamed Spell Cards in 2006. Here, [[Spell Card|Spell]] and/or [[Trap Cards]] may be [[Set]], and additionally, [[Spell Cards]] may also be activated. You cannot place any additional Spell or Trap Cards—except Field Spells, see above—onto on your side of the field if all of these zones are occupied.
 
−
* The bottom right Zone is the [[Deck Zone]] is, where the [[Main Deck]] is placed. You may draw one card from it per turn during your [[Draw Phase]], unless a card effect specifies you may not do so.
 
−
* Conceptually, there is an additional space called the [[Banished Zone]]. However, it is never represented on Official Playmats, since it is not considered "in play". Most video games depict this zone as an additional zone positioned to the right of the Graveyard.

Field

The field[1] (Japanese: フィールド Fīrudo; Chinese: 場 Chǎng) is the area where Duelists place their cards. Game mats (or play mats). The field is divided into two halves, one for each player, with each half having 5 Monster Card Zones, 5 Spell & Trap Card Zones, a Field Spell Card Zone, a Deck Zone, an Extra Deck Zone and finally a Graveyard.

The "field" referenced by card text is the combination of each player's Monster Card Zones, Spell & Trap Card Zones, Field Spell Card Zone and Pendulum Zones. Thus, the field is shared and each player controls only one side of it, despite the common and incorrect habit by players of saying "your field" or "my field".
