Reversi – Othello Strategy Game
About Reversi – Othello Strategy Game
Reversi, also known as Othello, is a strategy board game played on an 8×8 grid. Players place discs to flip opponent’s pieces by sandwiching them between their own. Despite simple rules, the game offers deep strategic depth with the famous motto: ‘A minute to learn, a lifetime to master.’
How to Play
You play black against an AI playing white. Click any valid spot (marked with a small circle) to place your disc. A valid move must flip at least one opponent disc by sandwiching it between yours in a straight line. If no valid moves exist, your turn is skipped.
Tips and Strategy
- Corner control. Corners can never be flipped — prioritize capturing them.
- Avoid X-squares. Squares diagonally adjacent to corners are dangerous as they invite corner captures.
- Mobility matters. Having more move options than your opponent is often better than having more discs.
- Patience. The board can flip dramatically — don’t panic if you’re behind early.
