About Reversi (Othello)

The classic disc-flipping strategy game. You play as Black, the computer plays as White. Place your disc to outflank your opponent's discs — any of their discs sandwiched between your two become yours. The player with the most discs at the end wins.

  1. You play Black. Click a highlighted cell to place your disc.
  2. You must place where at least one opponent disc is flanked.
  3. All flanked opponent discs flip to your color.
  4. The CPU automatically plays White after your move.
  5. If you have no valid moves, your turn is skipped.
  6. The game ends when neither player can move.
