Yono Games: Which Settings Belong to the Player, and Which Belong to the Hand?

Changing card modes should not carry every old state into the next game.

Editorial note: This is a conditional card-rule teaching example, not a verified description of the named platform.

Changing card modes should not carry every old state into the next game. A larger font can remain useful across modes. A wild rank from the previous hand has a completely different scope.

Sort the state by ownership

Personal display preferences concern presentation: text size, for example. Mode settings define a selected game's conditions. Hand-specific state includes the dealt cards, current actor and any designation made for that hand. Historical records describe completed events rather than active permissions.

Consider a teaching session that moves from rummy to a trick-taking exercise. The earlier rummy hand designated sevens wild. That designation does not automatically give a seven a special role in the new exercise. A shared lobby or unchanged account name supplies no such rule.

What should a transition explanation contain?

Name the old mode and the new one, identify which hand has ended and state the starting conditions for the new hand. Do not copy a previous score merely because both screens use a field called points; its meaning may differ.

For Yono Games readers, this is a way of organising rule information, not a claim about which modes the service currently offers. The practical check is whether each carried-over value has an explicit owner and scope. A preference may travel with the player. A rule state needs a reason to travel at all.
