'''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.

 +
To say that a card is '''Face-down''' ('''Set'''), is to say that the back part of the card is facing up, and the face of the card is facing down. This is the opposite position of the card being [[face-up]].
  
In ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V]]'', small orbs with glowing red eyes appear on top of face-down monsters.
+
Face-down [[Monster Card]] can only be in horizontal position ([[Defense Position]]) unless with the effect of "[[Darkness Approaches]]", you can have it in vertical position ([[Attack Position]]).
  
==In the Decks==
+
When a Spell or Trap Card is face-down, it is always in vertical position.
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.
+
When any card is face-down, unless specifically mentioned by a card effect, its controller is not permitted to disclose any [[Card layout#Description details|details]] of that card to his/her opponent, even if that card was [[face-up]] on the [[field]] a short time ago.
  
==On the field==
+
Face-down cards have no name, [[Type]], [[Attribute]], [[ATK]], [[DEF]], [[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 cards cannot carry [[counter]]s. Flipping a card face-down removes counters.
  
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.
+
If a card only specifies face-down cards without saying where, it is implied to only mean face-down on the field (e.g. "[[Granmarg the Rock Monarch]]").
  
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.
+
Monster Effects can not be activated while that card is face-down unless it specifies on that card (e.g. "[[Big Shield Gardna]]", "[[Mid Shield Gardna]]", "[[Sand Moth]]", etc.).
 
 
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]].
