Reversi Applet

How to play

Reversi (also known as Othello) is the classic board game where the aim is to have more pieces on the board than your opponent when the game ends. Your opponent's pieces may be flipped to yours by trapping them between two of your pieces horizontally, vertically or diagonally. Every move must result in at least one of your opponent's pieces being flipped.

If a player has no valid moves, the other player plays again. The game ends when the board is full or when neither player can make a valid move.

Black always plays first. Select the colour you would like to play using the colour icon and select the computer's skill level (1 being the easiest and 6 the most difficult) using the level icon.
