How to play
You complete Choco Banana when every clue's component has its stated area, each white component is rectangular, and each black component is connected correctly. The engine evaluates the full position rather than relying on a visual shortcut or an unsupported solvability claim.
- Choco Banana opens from a versioned seeded position built for white rectangular areas and black connected areas of matching clue size, with the two colours following different shape rules. Its game ID, rules profile, and deal identity are stored together so restart recreates the same opening without a server request.
- Every Choco Banana action is checked against the current board, available material, and this defining restriction: components of the same colour that share an edge are one area, so an accidental contact changes both its size and shape. Invalid, stale, or post-terminal actions leave the position unchanged.

Strategy tips
- A practical Choco Banana plan is to preserve several legal continuations around white rectangular areas and black connected areas of matching clue size, with the two colours following different shape rules. Use the deterministic hint to inspect one legal action, then compare how it affects the documented objective before committing.
- A common Choco Banana error is to ignore the boundary rule that components of the same colour that share an edge are one area, so an accidental contact changes both its size and shape. Undo is useful for studying that decision, while restart deliberately preserves the original seeded position.
- Near the end of Choco Banana, recount the remaining obligations needed until every clue's component has its stated area, each white component is rectangular, and each black component is connected correctly. Check the boundary rule after every final placement or transfer because terminal status is enforced immediately.
