Reversi, also known as Othello, is that rare classic game where the calm at the start of the game hides the storm to come. You and your opponent face off on an 8x8 board, each claiming black or white game pieces. Four discs begin at the center, but from there, it’s all war: every move must strategically surround and flip your opponent’s pieces, whether horizontally, vertically, or diagonally. Miss a capture? You skip your turn. Play Reversi right, and a single disc can change the entire board.
The aim is simple: control more pieces on the board than your opponent at the end of the game. But simple doesn’t mean easy. Corners become battlegrounds. Empty squares hold secrets. And every capture feels like a small act of revenge.
Whether you're up against a friend or a ruthless computer opponent on max difficulty, this game of strategy demands foresight, calculation, and a willingness to sacrifice a piece now to flip ten later. So place your disc wisely, one bad move, and you’re playing catch-up for the rest of the game.
Strategic. Elegant. Brutal. That’s Reversi.
