Othello (Reversi) instructions

Black and White move alternating. (It is shown, whose turn it is and which moves are possible.)
  • Initially the 4 middle fields need to be filled.
  • Afterwards,
    • the new stone must be placed in a way, that between the new stone and another stone of the same color (horizontally, diagonally or vertically) stones of the opposite color are enclosed without gaps.
    • The enclosed stones (possibly in multiple lines at once) switch color from the opposite to the current players color.
  • In case no more more moves are possible,
    • for the player on turn, the player is skipped and the other player can move again.
    • for any player, game ends. The player wins who has the majority of stones colored in his color.
