A '''zone''' (Japanese: ゾーン ''zōn'') is any tile for a card(s) on a [[playmat]]. Each side features 16 zones, divided into 5 [[column]]s of 2 zones each with 2 end columns with 3 zones each.

A '''zone''' (Japanese: ゾーン ''Zōn'') is any tile for a card(s) on a [[playmat]]. Each side features 16 zones, divided into 5 [[column]]s of 2 zones each with 2 end columns with 3 zones each.
  
The top left zone is the [[Field Zone]], where the [[player]]'s [[Field Spell Card]]s are played. The bottom zone is the [[Extra Deck Zone]] (formerly the [[Fusion Deck Zone]]), where the player's [[Extra Deck]] is placed.
+
The top zone of the leftmost column is the [[Field Zone]], where the [[player]]'s [[Field Spell Card]]s are played. The bottom zone is the [[Extra Deck Zone]] (formerly known as the [[Fusion Deck Zone]]), where the player's [[Extra Deck]] is placed.
  
The top right zone is the [[Graveyard Zone]], where the player's [[Graveyard]] is placed. The bottom is the [[Deck Zone]], where the player's [[Main Deck]] is placed.
+
The top zone of the rightmost column is the [[Graveyard Zone]], where the player's [[Graveyard]] is placed. The bottom zone is the [[Deck Zone]], where the player's [[Main Deck]] is placed.
  
The upper row of five central zones are [[Main Monster Zone]]s, where [[Monster Card]]s are played; the lower row of five central zones are [[Spell & Trap Zone]]s, where [[Spell Card|Spell]] and [[Trap Card]]s are played. The leftmost and rightmost is also used as the [[Pendulum Zone]]s.
+
The middle zones of the left and rightmost columns are the player's two [[Pendulum Zone]]s, with the blue Pendulum Zone on the left and the red Pendulum Zone on the right, where the player's [[Pendulum Monster]]s are played as [[Spell Card]]s. These zones were introduced in ''[[Starter Deck 2014]]''.
  
Between each player's field on the 2nd and 4th columns, are the 2 [[Extra Monster Zone]]s. These Zones are exclusively used for playing monster from the Extra Deck.
+
The upper row of five central zones are [[Monster Zone]]s, where [[Monster Card]]s are played; the lower row of five central zones are [[Spell & Trap Zone]]s, where [[Spell Card|Spell]] and [[Trap Card]]s are played.
  
The [[Banish#Banished cards|banished cards]] are not placed in any particular zone, so the location of banished cards does not appear on the playmat. However, in video games (where this location is usually called the "Removed from Play Zone" or the "Banished Zone", a term not used in the ''TCG''/''OCG''), it is typically located to the right of the Graveyard Zone.
+
The so-called "[[Banished Zone]]" (formerly known as the "Removed from Play Zone"), where [[banish]]ed cards are placed, is not actually a Zone, so it does not appear on the playmat. However in official Dueling simulators, it is typically located to the right of the Graveyard Zone.
  
Each vertical line of zones stretching from one player's Spell & Trap Zone to their opponent's constitutes a [[column]]; there are five columns on the field.

Each vertical line of four zones stretching from one player's Spell & Trap Zone to their opponent's constitutes a [[column]]; there are five columns on the field.
 
 
== Pendulum Zones ==
 
Starting with [[Master Rule]] 3, there are two [[Pendulum Zone]]s on each player's field. [[Pendulum Monster]]s can be played as Spell Cards in the Pendulum Zones.
 
 
 
During Master Rule 3, the Pendulum Zones are new zones located on the far left and right sides of the game mat. The blue Pendulum Zone is located between the Extra Deck and Field Zones, and the red Pendulum Zone is located between the Deck and Graveyard Zones.
 
 
 
Starting in New Master Rule, the Pendulum Zones are shared with the leftmost and rightmost Spell & Trap Zones. These zones normally function as Spell & Trap Zones, but function as Pendulum Zones while a Pendulum Monster is in them.
 
 
 
== Extra Monster Zones ==
 
Starting in New [[Master Rule]], the field includes two [[Extra Monster Zone]]s, between the two sides of the field. They can be used by either player to Summon monsters from the [[Extra Deck]], although normally each player can only use one at a time.
 
 
 
During the original version of New Master Rule, all monsters Special Summoned from the Extra Deck can only be Summoned to an Extra Monster Zone or a zone [[pointed to]] by a [[Link Monster]]. Starting in the April 1, 2020 revision, this restriction only applies to Link Monsters and [[Pendulum Monster]]s [[Pendulum Summon]]ed from the Extra Deck.
