Spell & Trap Zones (魔（ま）法（ほう）＆罠（トラップ）ゾーン Mahō & Torappu Zōn "Magic & Trap Zone"), formerly Spell & Trap Card Zones (魔（ま）法（ほう）＆罠（トラップ）カードゾーン Mahō & Torappu Kādozōn "Magic & Trap Card Zone"), are the 5 Zones in which Spell and Trap Cards are placed on the field (except Field Spell Cards, which are played in the Field Zone). On game mats, they are located in the lower-middle and are often colored cyan. Due to their location, they are also unofficially referred to as "backrow".
