How to Play Yu-Gi-Oh! Trading Card Game: PART II

In this part; the second part; I will teach you about the playing field.

This is what a Yu-Gi-Oh! playing field looks like:

NOTE: This is only your side of the field. Your opponent has the exact same thing.

As you can see, there are 14 Zones.

5 Monster Card Zones
5 Spell/Trap Card Zones
Deck Zone
Graveyard
Extra Deck Zone
Field Spell Zone

But...

The above field shown is missing a Zone.

It is the Removed From Play Zone. It is where the cards that have been removed from play are put. It is not part of the field.

I am going to talk to you about the Zones.

Monster Card Zones:
You can only have 5 Monsters on the field at the same time. You cannot take control of an opponent's monster if you already have 5 Monsters on the field.

Spell and Trap Card Zones:
You can only have 5 Spell or Trap Cards on the field at the same time. You cannot activate any Spells from your hand if you already have 5 Spell or Traps on the field. You cannot Set any Spells or Traps if you already have 5 Spell or Traps on the field.

Deck Zone:
You can only have 40-60 cards in your Deck. If it is your turn and you cannot Draw a card, you lose the duel. This is not part of the field.

Graveyard:
All the cards sent here; go here. This is not part of the field.

Extra Deck Zone:
Fusion and Synchro Monsters go here. This is not part of the field.

Field Spell Zone:
A Field Spell goes here.
