The '''Graveyard''' ({{Ruby|墓|ぼ}}{{Ruby|地|ち}} ''Bochi''), abbreviated as '''GY''' in card texts from ''[[Starter Deck: Link Strike]]'' onwards, sometimes translated as '''Cemetery''', and sometimes (unofficially) referred to as the '''Graveyard Zone''' or simply '''Grave''', is the name for a player's discard pile. [[Monster Card|Monster Cards]] that are destroyed or sacrificed, [[Spell Card|Spell]] and [[Trap Card|Trap]] Cards whose effects have been used, and cards discarded from a player's hand are placed here. Cards in the Graveyard typically cannot be used, but can be recovered by using cards such as "[[Monster Reborn]]" or "[[Magician of Faith]]."
+
Cards are [[sent]] to the Graveyard if they are [[destroy]]ed, [[Tribute]]d, [[discard]]ed, or [[detach]]ed; most [[Spell]] and [[Trap Card]]s are also placed in the Graveyard after the Chain they were activated in [[resolve]]s. Monsters used as [[Fusion Material|Fusion]], [[Synchro Material|Synchro]], or [[Link Material]] are sent to the Graveyard (unless otherwise specified).
  
The Graveyard is placed directly above the [[Deck Zone]]. When the [[Pendulum Zone]]s were introduced, the Graveyard was shifted to directly above (or above and to the right of) the right Pendulum Zone. However, with the introduction of the [[Extra Monster Zone]]s, the Pendulum Zones were moved into the Spell & Trap Zones and the Graveyard returned to its original position.

The contents of either player's Graveyards are [[public knowledge]], unless a card like "[[Question]]" is used. When a player looks through any Graveyards, they may neither [[shuffle]] its contents, nor re-arrange the order in which the cards were placed there. In video games, when a card is [[activate]]d or selected for a [[card effect]] while in the Graveyard, it immediately moves to the top of the Graveyard; this only exists for the purposes of clarification within those video games, and this game mechanic is not used in the OCG or TCG.

All cards in the Graveyard are face-up, and are [[public knowledge]] (unless restricted by a card effect—the only such effect being "[[Question]]").

In the anime, cards that return from the Graveyard are sometimes depicted as coming out of a portal.

The Graveyard location on a playmat

The Graveyard ( Bochi), abbreviated as GY in card texts from Starter Deck: Link Strike onward, is the discard pile in the Yu-Gi-Oh! Trading Card Game and Yu-Gi-Oh! Official Card Game.

Cards are sent to the Graveyard if they are destroyed, Tributed, discarded, or detached; most Spell and Trap Cards are also placed in the Graveyard after the Chain they were activated in resolves. Monsters used as Fusion, Synchro, or Link Material are sent to the Graveyard (unless otherwise specified).

The Graveyard is placed directly above the Deck Zone, in a location sometimes referred to as the Graveyard Zone. When the Pendulum Zones were introduced, the Graveyard was shifted to directly above (or above and to the right of) the right Pendulum Zone. However, with the introduction of the Extra Monster Zones, the Pendulum Zones were moved into the Spell & Trap Zones and the Graveyard returned to its original position.

All cards in the Graveyard are face-up, and are public knowledge (unless restricted by a card effect—the only such effect being "Question"). When a player looks through a Graveyard, they cannot reorder the cards in the Graveyard. In video games, when a card in the Graveyard activates its effect or is targeted by a card effect, it is placed on the top of the Graveyard; this game mechanic is not used in the OCG or TCG.
