A zone (Japanese: ゾーン Zōn; Chinese: 區 Qū) is any tile of the Playing Field. Each side of the field features more than 14 zones, divided into two rows of seven zones each.
From left to right, the first zone of the top row is the Field Card Zone, where Field Spell Cards may be played. This is followed by five Monster Card Zones, where Monster Cards may be played, and lastly by the Graveyard Zone, where the player's Graveyard is kept.
The bottom row, from left to right, features the Extra Deck Zone (formerly known as the Fusion Deck Zone), where the player's Extra Deck is placed, followed by five Spell & Trap Card Zones for Spell and Trap Cards, and the Deck Zone, where the player's Main Deck is placed.
In addition to these, the Banished Zone (formerly known as the Removed from Play Zone) is a zone not on the field where banished cards are placed.
Each vertical line of four zones stretching from one player's Spell & Trap Card Zone to their opponent's constitutes a column; there are five columns on the field.
A new set of zones specifically destined for Pendulum Summoning are set to debut in Starter Deck 2014: the Pendulum Zones. These zones are located between the Extra Deck and Field Card Zones (Left/Blue) and the Graveyard and Deck Zones (Right/Red).
