Complete guide
Turncoats uses the independently implemented Turncoats PySolFC 3.6.1 fixed rules v1 profile (R628). Turncoats is defined by one exact interaction: Twelve piles build one card either up or down in alternating colour, and every vacancy fills automatically from the talon instead of accepting a chosen card.
Read the opening of Turncoats by locating every lane, clue, reserve, room, or fixed element named in its rule. Twelve piles build one card either up or down in alternating colour, and every vacancy fills automatically from the talon instead of accepting a chosen card. The seeded deal and rules version reproduce that public starting information without exposing a hidden completion.
Check each proposed action against the current position and this boundary: Twelve piles build one card either up or down in alternating colour, and every vacancy fills automatically from the talon instead of accepting a chosen card. Illegal, stale, and post-finish actions are rejected without changing the board.
Finish Turncoats when all forced vacancy fills are resolved and every card reaches a foundation. Completion is checked from the entire position, not from a displayed answer or a visual approximation. During the final few decisions, compare every unresolved obligation with the target: all forced vacancy fills are resolved and every card reaches a foundation. Keep the option described in the strategy note available until the last forced dependency is settled.
Choose upward or downward alternating builds according to which move creates a safe forced talon refill, not merely which direction lengthens the current pile. Opening a vacancy before checking the talon turns control over to the forced replacement card and can split an otherwise flexible bidirectional sequence.
Choose upward or downward alternating builds according to which move creates a safe forced talon refill, not merely which direction lengthens the current pile. This matters specifically because twelve piles build one card either up or down in alternating colour, and every vacancy fills automatically from the talon instead of accepting a chosen card.
Opening a vacancy before checking the talon turns control over to the forced replacement card and can split an otherwise flexible bidirectional sequence. Recheck the legal boundary before choosing a replacement move.
Turncoats is complete once all forced vacancy fills are resolved and every card reaches a foundation. The terminal check examines every relevant pile, cell, edge, room, and clue before awarding the result. Undo and redo expose alternative branches without revealing an authored answer.
