All Implemented Interfaces:

public enum Zones
extends java.lang.Enum<Zones>
Zones describe the different locations for entities in the game.

In a standard game, the local player can see their HAND, their SECRET zone, and both player's BATTLEFIELD zones. They know the count of the number of entities in the opponent's HAND, opponent's DECK, opponent's SECRET zone and their own DECK. While neither player can browse through the GRAVEYARD the information inside of it is not considered secret.

Many effects interact with zones in special ways. For example, a GameLogic.summon(int, Minion, Entity, int, boolean) performs the consequences of playing a Card; the card is moved to the GRAVEYARD and a new Minion is created by Card.minion() and placed into the BATTLEFIELD.
