"Turncoat is a unique new game. The board and counters can be used to provide the means of playing fascinating solitaire, or engaging an opponent in an intriguing battle of wits." The game consists of a board and ten counters. The counters are marked on each side with red and green designs on a white or black background. Each counter has white on one side and black on the other. Four have red designs on either side, two have green designs on either side, two have green designs on the white and red designs on the black side, and the remaining two have red designs on the white and green designs on the black side, The object of the game is for each player to complete a straight line of five counters in direction and in any position on the board, with the counters being in the correct sequence of colours - red, green, red, green, red. Abstract game, strange combination of Connect 4 and Othello.
