Battlefield

The Battlefield is the set of zones the game is played on. Cards are played from the hand (or Fables Deck) to the battlefield. The battlefield is a single place but has two sides, one for each player, which are mirror images from each other. The field is composed by specific zones in which some cards might be able to be played (typically one per zone). Cards must be played on valid zones to be on the battlefield.

Each side of the field consists of two rows of 5 zones on top of each other; the one closer to the opponent contains the creature zones, and the one closer to you has the artifact zones (very similar to a Yu-Gi-Oh! board). There is also an 11th, separated Monument zone for each player, that is on the field but not considered adjacent to anything, and thus cannot be targeted or target anything. Monuments do not interact with the targeting system (they might use the word choose instead).

A player's half of the battlefield: 5 creature, 5 artifact, and 1 monument zones, as well as slots for the piles (grave, main deck, and fables deck).

Compared with an old school Yu-Gi-Oh! board, the following substitutions can be applied to derive the Dimensional Rift battlefield:
