Othello Reversi for Android

If you are using a desktop computer with Java Plugin installed, you can also play this Web version.

Instructions

Othello (or "Reversi") is a game in which two players take turns to put counters on an 8x8 square board. When a player places a counter, it captures any of his opponent's counters which become "sandwiched" by his own. Captured counters change colour to indicate which player has captured them.

Each turn, you must place a counter on a square that results in at least one opposing counter being captured. Occasionally a player may not be able to make a legal move in which case he will forfeit his turn.

The game ends when all the squares on the board are filled with counters. The winner is the player who has the most counters showing.

Messages from the developer

- Black moves first: Implemented in V1.20, this is as per the official rules. However to avoid incompatibility with the previous version (where white moved first), it is not possible to pre-1.20 apps to play online against users with the V1.20 version. Older version users please upgrade.

Partial board win
When you win without filling the entire board it is not reflected in the score.
