Suppose　G=(V,　E)　is　a　graph　and　F　is　a　colouring　of　its　edges　(not　necessarily　proper)　that　uses　the　colour　set　X.　In　an　adapted　colouring　game,　Alice　and　Bob　alternately　colour　uncoloured　vertices　of　G　with　colours　from　X.　A　partial　colouring　c　of　the　vertices　of　G　is　legal　if　there　is　no　edge　e=xy　such　that　c(x)=c(y)=F(e).　In　the　process　of　the　game,　each　partial　colouring　must　be　legal.　If　eventually　all　the　vertices　of　G　are　coloured,　then　Alice　wins　the　game.　Otherwise,　Bob　wins　the　game.　The　adapted　game　chromatic　number　of　a　graph　G,　denoted　by　χ　adg(G),　is　the　minimum　number　of　colours　needed　to　ensure　that　for　any　edge　colouring　F　of　G,　Alice　has　a　winning　strategy　for　the　game.　This　paper　studies　the　adapted　game　chromatic　number　of　various　classes　of　graphs.　We　prove　that　the　maximum　adapted　game　chromatic　number　of　trees　is　3,　the　maximum　adapted　game　chromatic　number　of　outerplanar　graphs　is　5,　the　adapted　game　chromatic　number　of　partial　k-trees　is　at　most　2k+1,　and　the　adapted　game　chromatic　number　of　planar　graphs　is　at　most　11.　©　2011　Elsevier　Ltd.
