| + | To say that a card is face-down, is to say the back part of the card is facing up. When a [[Monster Cards|Monster Card]] is face-down, it can only be horizontal (i.e., in [[Defense Position]]). You can only have a face-down monster in [[Attack Position]] by the effect of [[Darkness Approaches]]. |

| − | '''Face-down''' ({{Ruby|裏|うら}}{{Ruby|側|がわ}}{{Ruby|表|ひょう}}{{Ruby|示|じ}} ''Uragawa hyōji'' "face-down-displayed") is a way to place a card in which a card's [[Card backing|backing]] is visible; as the term "face-down" suggests, the card's face is placed against the playing surface, preventing it from being seen. This is the opposite of [[face-up]].
| |
| | | | |
| − | The properties of a card (name, [[Attribute]], [[Type]], [[Level]]/[[Rank]], [[ATK]], [[DEF]], [[Card effect|effect]]) are not part of [[public knowledge]] while that card is face-down. A face-down card being [[look]]ed at or [[reveal]]ed is still considered face-down (although its properties can be determined by card effects while being revealed) and is returned to its original position once the player(s) have finished viewing it.
| + | When a [[Spell Cards|Spell]] or [[Trap Cards|Trap Card]] is face-down, it is always vertical. |
| | | | |
| − | In ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V]]'', small orbs with glowing red eyes appear on top of face-down monsters.
| + | When any card is face-down, unless specifically mentioned by a card effect, its controller is not obligated to disclose any details of that card to his/her opponent, even if that card was [[face-up]] on the field a short time ago. |
| | | | |
| − | ==In the Decks==
| + | Monster Effects can not be activated Face-Down unless it says so on the card (ex. [[Big Shield Gardna]]). |
| − | Each player's [[Main Deck|Main]] and [[Extra Deck]] is placed face-down in their respective [[zone]] at the start of each game.
| |
| | | | |
| − | Face-down cards in the Main Deck cannot be looked at by either player, except by a card effect. Face-down cards in the Extra Deck can be looked at by their [[possess]]or at any time, but cannot be looked at by their opponent. | + | Face-down cards cannot carry counters. Flipping a card face-down removes counters. |
| | | | |
| − | ==On the field==
| + | Face-down monsters have no type, attribute, atk, def, name, or star level until they are flipped face up. |
| − | During a game, cards are normally placed face-down by [[Set]]ting them. Face-down cards on the field can be looked at by their [[control]]ler at any time, but cannot be looked at by their opponent.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Monster Cards can be [[Normal Set]] in face-down [[Defense Position]] (it is not possible for monsters to be in face-down Attack Position). Prior to its functional erratum at the start of ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! VRAINS]]'', "[[Darkness Approaches]]" could cause a monster to be placed in face-down Attack Position; additionally, the [[anime-only]] "[[Miraculous Hats]]" allows monsters to be in face-down [[Attack Position]].
| |
| − | | |
| − | Face-down [[Monster Card]]s cannot be [[equip]]ped with [[Equip Card]]s; if a monster equipped with an Equip Card(s) is flipped face-down, the Equip Card(s) equipped to that flipped monster is [[destroy]]ed.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Face-up Monster Cards can be flipped to face-down [[Defense Position]] with cards like "[[Book of Moon]]". It is not possible to flip [[Link Monster]]s to face-down Defense Position.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Spell and Trap Cards can be Set face-down in the [[Spell & Trap Zone]]s or the [[Field Zone]] (in the case of [[Field Spell Card]]s). [[Quick-Play Spell Card]]s and Trap Cards cannot be activated during the turn they are Set. It is not possible to Set [[Pendulum Monster]]s face-down in [[Pendulum Zone]]s.
| |
| − | | |
| − | ==Banished==
| |
| − | Some card effects can banish cards face-down. Cards that are banished face-down can be looked at by their [[possess]]or at any time, but cannot be looked at by their opponent. However, the number of banished cards (including face-down banished cards) is [[public knowledge]].
