How to Play

The boardgame Othello (Reversi) is easy to play and "difficult to master." The board is a set of squares with chips of two colors. You play the computer. Each player in turn places one of their chips on the board, adjacent to an opponent's chip so as to "capture" the opponent's line of chips between one of their own already on the board and the new one. When the chip is placed, all of the opponent's chips in between are "turned over" (i.e. turned to the current player's color), so that the current player now owns the entire line of chips. Play continues until the board is completely full of chips. The most chips wins.
