Convention: Agreed set of clue, play and discard interpretations. e.g. a number clue that marks the chop card should be interpreted as a unique card save (if there is a unique card of that number).

As there is a wide variety of conventions, including variations of the most common "Standard" and "Finesse" conventions, any edits to the help and tips pages need to be discussed in the Hanabi forum to reach a consensus.

Note that there is no definition of "Standard" BGA convention anywhere, which is why it is described here as a basic version of the most common "Finesse" convention (without blind-plays). Therefore any attempt to further define "Standard" convention will be subjective and likely unhelpful. Sammy McSam (talk) 23:36, 18 January 2024 (CET)

Keep convention definitions simple

I don't see the reason to push here a set of conventions that very few players use. Of course the discussion of which conventions are ``best is interesting, but it's definitely misleading if it appears in a wiki targeted to novices.

To the best of my knowledge, very few people use this wiki in any case, but I think we are doing them a disservice if we give them a set of conventions that will not help them while playing, and will create misunderstandings when, for example, people play cards just because they've been skipped while the intent is almost always to either let them play or induce them to discard because they have a trash/duplicate card in chop.
