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]]".
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.
Monster Effects can not be activated Face-Down unless it says so on the card (exe.g. "[[Big Shield Gardna]]").
Face-down monsters have no name, [[type]], [[attribute]], [[ATK]], [[DEF]], [[Level]] until they are flipped face up.
Face-down cards cannot carry [[counter]]s. Flipping a card face-down removes counters.
If a card only specifies face-down cards without saying where, it is implied to only mean face-down on the field (e.g. "[[Silent Abyss]]").
