Direct answer: Choose one primary intention for one Leela game. Related subquestions can remain as notes, but unrelated themes—work, relationships, and relocation—blur the move history and make conclusions hard to test. A genuinely separate question is better placed in a new game.
Article focus: Preserve a coherent context so recurring cells and personal answers refer to one real-life decision.

Why one main intention keeps the game coherent
Preserve a coherent context so recurring cells and personal answers refer to one real-life decision.
| Working reading | Risky reading |
|---|---|
| One primary intention is supported by two clarifying subquestions about the obstacle and next step. | Every move is applied to a new theme, so the same cell receives contradictory meanings. |
Which follow-up questions can stay in the same game
A player wants to decide at once whether to change jobs, move, and continue a relationship.
Facts: Each decision has different people, deadlines, risks, and evidence; only the work decision needs an immediate answer.
| Reading A | Reading B |
|---|---|
| The work decision becomes the main intention, while relocation and the relationship go on a list for later sessions. | The broad question “What should I do next?” makes it easy to switch topics after every uncomfortable response. |
When a separate game is the better choice
Can I clarify the intention during the game?
Yes, when the clarification keeps the same situation and makes it more specific rather than replacing it.
When should I start a new game?
When a new question has different facts, people, or a separate decision that needs its own history.
Action: Choose the question with the nearest real deadline and place the others in a separate list without interpreting them in this game.
Criterion: Every answer and the final action can be linked to one situation without moving cell meanings between unrelated problems.
