About Reversi
Reversi is an 8×8 territory swing in which every legal move must bracket at least one opposing line. Corners are permanent, edges are powerful, and a comfortable early lead can disappear in the final moves.
Rules in brief
How to play Reversi
- 01
Place a disc so that one or more straight lines of opposing discs sit between the new disc and another disc of your colour.
- 02
Flip every bracketed disc in all valid horizontal, vertical, and diagonal directions.
- 03
A player with no legal move passes automatically. When neither player can move, the colour with more discs wins.
