Reversi is a famous classic board game where you use tactics to turn the tables and gain an advantage on the board. The rules are simple and easy to get used to, but to win, you need logic and know how to calculate each move. This is an ideal game for students to practice their thinking skills, adults to enjoy as light entertainment, or anyone looking for a game that is both quick and intellectually stimulating.

How to play

Reversi has fairly intuitive gameplay. You will take turns placing your pieces so that they are sandwiched between your opponent's pieces (horizontally, vertically, or diagonally). When sandwiched, those pieces will be flipped to your color.

Specific controls:

  • Click the mouse (or touch the screen on your phone) on the valid empty square to place the piece.
  • A valid move can surround the opponent's pieces in at least one direction.
  • The pieces that are caught will automatically be flipped to your color.
  • On touch devices, tap. It's quick and easy to get used to.

The player who controls more pieces when the board is full will win.

Outstanding features

Reversi brings a smooth, simple playing experience, but deep enough and requires logic so you can play forever without getting bored:

  • Play with the computer or 2 people: Choose to play with AI or friends right on the same device.
  • No need to download the game: Play directly on the web.
  • Simple, easy-to-see design: Neat interface, focusing on gameplay.
  • Friendly for all ages: Anyone can play and train their minds every day.
  • Fast experience, play right away: No annoying ads, no need to log in.

Tips to play better

Want to upgrade your Reversi game? Here are some tips to help you easily turn this board game around:

  • Hold the corners of the board. Corners are the safest place to turn the game because they won't be turned over.
  • Avoid letting your opponent take the corner. Be cautious when approaching the corner if you haven't yet controlled it.
  • Don't be greedy to turn many pieces early. Keep the initiative for the late game.
  • Observe your opponent's available moves: Limit their options as much as possible.
  • Think 2-3 steps ahead and predict your opponent's reactions to control the game better.
