Reversi Online & Offline

Introduction

• Reversi (リバーシ) is a classic two-player strategy board game played on an 8×8 grid of squares.

• Each of the 64 discs has a light side and a dark side, and players take turns placing discs to outflank and flip their opponent’s pieces.

• Known for its simple rules yet deep tactical complexity, Reversi offers a compelling challenge for novices and experts alike.

History

• Invented in London in 1883 by two English gentlemen, Reversi initially gained a modest following in Europe.

• The game experienced a resurgence in Japan during the 1970s under the name Othello, a nod to Shakespeare’s tragic hero.

• Today, Othello is as widespread in Japan as Checkers is in many Western countries, supported by official tournaments and international rankings.

Reversi Short Rules

• Equipment: an 8×8 board and 64 identical discs (one side light, the other dark).

• Starting position: four discs placed in the center in a checkerboard pattern (two light, two dark).

• Turn sequence: players alternate placing one disc of their color on any empty square.

• Capturing mechanic: if a newly placed disc brackets one or more contiguous opponent discs in any straight line (horizontal, vertical or diagonal) between itself and another disc of the same color, all bracketed discs are flipped to the current player’s color.

• Passing: if a player cannot make a valid move, they pass; if both players pass consecutively, the game ends.

Objective

• The aim is to finish with the majority of discs showing your color.

• The game concludes when no empty squares remain or when neither player can move.

• The winner is the player whose color occupies more squares at the end.

• Online multiplayer with ELO rating system, in-game chat, achievements and extensive game statistics.

FAQ

Q: How do I set up the board and start playing?

A: You begin by placing four discs in the center of the board in a checkerboard pattern, with two light and two dark discs diagonally adjacent. Players then alternate turns, placing a disc of their color on any empty square so that it brackets one or more of the opponent’s discs between the newly placed disc and another already on the board. From that point, each valid move flips all bracketed discs to the current player’s color.

Q: What is the objective of a Reversi game?

A: Your goal is to finish the game controlling more discs of your color than your opponent. The match ends when neither player can make a legal move or when all 64 squares are filled. At that moment, whoever has the majority of discs showing their color wins.

Q: How does the flipping mechanic work?

A: When you place a disc, any straight line—horizontal, vertical, or diagonal—where your new disc and an existing disc of your color enclose a consecutive row of your opponent’s discs will be flipped. All of those bracketed discs instantly turn to your color. It’s this simple bracketing rule that underpins every tactical decision in the game.
