Playmat

A playmat or game mat, also known as a Duel Field (デュエルフィールド Deyuerufīrudo) is a flat material where a player can place their cards while Dueling. They often feature the artwork of a card (usually a Monster Card) or multiple cards, with many also labeling the official Card Zones for the Yu-Gi-Oh! Trading Card Game. Most mats are mass-produced, but some are only awarded to competitors and winners of various tournament events, making them very exclusive and highly valuable items.
