This turning action must be completed for every legal turning line that is created with the placing of the new piece. It goes without say that while the example assumes the use of black as the moving player, it is applicable both ways.
Players will then continue to move alternately until they get to the end of the game and a winner is decided. This decision is reached by identifying which of the two opponents has the most pieces on the board. For stricter or regulated games there is an alternative method of finishing a game.
Players can start with a preset time limit for their total number of moves. For more details, please read our full privacy and cookie policy. We've created a new CardGames. All the games from the website, in fullscreen mode, with more characters!

Or come to our Facebook page and tell us all about it. Reversi also known as Othello is a pretty simple game. It consists of a 8x8 square board, and pieces with one black and one white side.
Each player has a color, and the aim of the game is to get more of your pieces on the board than the opponent's pieces. At the start of the game there are four pieces on the board, two white and two black. You must try to capture opponent pieces and flip them over so they turn into your color. You do this by making a horizontal, vertical or diagonal line of pieces, where your pieces surround the other player's pieces.
The surrounded opponent pieces are then captured and will be flipped over to your color, increasing the number of your pieces on the board. Example : You have the black pieces. There is one black piece on the board, next to it are 4 white pieces in a line. You put a black piece at the end of the line, now you have 4 white pieces between 2 black pieces, so those white pieces turn to black.
Every move you make must capture some opponent pieces. This means that every time it's your turn you must place one of your pieces next to a line of one or more opponent pieces, where there's another one of your pieces at the other end of the line. It sounds complicated, but we show you the available squares for moves with semi-transparent circles, so it's easy to learn the game once you start playing.
If there is no available move on the board that captures pieces then you must say Pass and your opponent gets to play again. If both players say pass in a row then there are no more moves on the board and the game ends. Usually it ends when the board is completely full though. The game ends when the board is full, both players say pass, or one player surrenders. At that time the pieces on the board are counted and the player with more pieces wins.

First, fix the glitches. Fix that please. Super annoying. Some sort of audio clue when the timer is running out should be standard. Maybe an option to turn it on or off?? When starting a game, it is recommended to play within the 4x4 central area marked by white translucent discs in the diagram below when possible. It is often not recommended to move on the squares next to corners marked by black translucent discs.
Moving in these squares could give the opponent access to the adjacent corner. A common beginner mistake is to try to get as many discs as possible from the beginning. This is not a good strategy in Othello. A better strategy is to focus on limiting your opponent's options, while having many possible moves yourself.
This is usually easier to achieve by having fewer discs. In the example below, White, with only one disc, can easily win the game in four moves. If you enjoy learning Othello and want to get better at the game, we recommend Brian Rose's book "Othello: a minute to learn Brian is the World Othello Champion and his is the most comprehensive book on Othello strategy ever published in English.
