How to play
You complete Aqre when the completed grid satisfies the room count connected no four constraint set, every fixed clue, and the profile's whole-board completion test. The engine evaluates the full position rather than relying on a visual shortcut or an unsupported solvability claim.
- Aqre opens from a versioned seeded position built for Room clues count shaded cells, shaded cells connect, and neither colour may form a run of four. The independent runtime records this exact room count connected no four rules identity. Its game ID, rules profile, and deal identity are stored together so restart recreates the same opening without a server request.
- Every Aqre action is checked against the current board, available material, and this defining restriction: Room clues count shaded cells, shaded cells connect, and neither colour may form a run of four. Partial assignments remain legal only while at least one completion still satisfies those constraints. Invalid, stale, or post-terminal actions leave the position unchanged.

Strategy tips
- A practical Aqre plan is to preserve several legal continuations around Room clues count shaded cells, shaded cells connect, and neither colour may form a run of four. The independent runtime records this exact room count connected no four rules identity. Use the deterministic hint to inspect one legal action, then compare how it affects the documented objective before committing.
- A common Aqre error is to ignore the boundary rule that Room clues count shaded cells, shaded cells connect, and neither colour may form a run of four. Partial assignments remain legal only while at least one completion still satisfies those constraints. Undo is useful for studying that decision, while restart deliberately preserves the original seeded position.
- Near the end of Aqre, recount the remaining obligations needed until the completed grid satisfies the room count connected no four constraint set, every fixed clue, and the profile's whole-board completion test. Check the boundary rule after every final placement or transfer because terminal status is enforced immediately.
