Reversi, also known as Othello, is a classic two-player strategy board game played on an 8x8 grid. Players take turns placing discs that are black on one side and white on the other, capturing opponent pieces by flanking them in a straight line. Captured discs flip to your color, and the board state can swing dramatically with a single well-placed move. The game rewards long-term positional thinking over short-term gains: controlling corners and edges is far more valuable than having the most pieces midgame. Simple rules make it easy to learn in minutes, but the strategic depth has kept competitive players engaged for decades. Every match unfolds differently as you read your opponent and fight for board control.
