In the game, official hand destruction rulings state that players must follow the specific rules and restrictions set by the game regarding discarding or removing cards from their hand. These rules are important to maintain fairness and balance during gameplay.
Exodia the Forbidden One is a powerful card in Yu-Gi-Oh that allows a player to instantly win the game if they have all five pieces in their hand. The official ruling is that if a player successfully gathers all five pieces of Exodia in their hand, they immediately win the game, regardless of the current game state.
The official rulings for Cyber Dragon Infinity state that it can only negate the effects of face-up cards on the field, and not those in the hand, Deck, or Graveyard. Additionally, it cannot negate the activation of a Spell or Trap card that does not target.
In Magic: The Gathering, Athreos, God of Passage's official rulings state that when a creature you control dies, your opponent can choose to either let it go to the graveyard or return it to your hand by paying 3 life.

"Maiden with Eyes of Blue" in the Yu-Gi-Oh! trading card game can be targeted by card effects that specify a target, but cannot be targeted by effects that do not specify a target. Additionally, when "Maiden with Eyes of Blue" is targeted by an opponent's card effect, you can Special Summon a "Blue-Eyes White Dragon" from your hand, Deck, or Graveyard.
If either you or your opponent does not have any cards in the Hand, Hand Destruction may not be activated as you cannot fulfill its requirements needed to activate. To be able to activate Hand Destruction, you AND your opponent must have at least 2 cards each.Also, even if you legally activate it, you and your opponent must still have at least 2 cards in hand when Hand Destruction resolves, or else it will resolve without effect. Such a situation could occur if Hand Destruction was activated, and something was chained that would make one player have less than two cards in hand.

The official rules for the card game Hand and Foot involve players forming sets and runs of cards, with the goal of creating "books" to score points. Each player is dealt two sets of cards, one for their "hand" and one for their "foot." Players take turns drawing and discarding cards to complete their sets and score points. The game typically ends when a player goes out by playing all their cards.
