About Reversi
Reversi (Othello-style) is a free two-player strategy game of flips and control. Place discs to sandwich opponent pieces and flip them to your color. When no moves remain, the player with the most discs wins.
How to play Reversi
- Place a disc so it sandwiches one or more opponent discs between two of yours.
- Every sandwiched disc in that straight line flips to your color.
- If you have no legal move, your turn is skipped.
- When the board is full or neither player can move, most discs wins.
Tips & strategy
- Corners are powerful — they can never be flipped once taken.
- Avoid giving your opponent easy access to corners.
- Early mobility often beats greedily flipping every disc.
- In the endgame, count flips carefully before each placement.
