Reversi · How to play
Every Reversi move must bracket opposing pieces. Flipping the largest group immediately is not always best; consider the moves the new position gives your opponent.
Controls
Use the touch-friendly game controls. Detailed rules appear below the board.
Rules & goal
- Place a piece where it and an existing friendly piece enclose an opposing run.
- Enclosed consecutive opposing pieces flip to your color.
- Pass when the interface indicates no legal move. The final piece counts determine the result.
Beginner tips
- Corners cannot later be bracketed from both ends and usually offer stable ownership.
- Before placing a piece, check which edge and corner opportunities it opens for the opponent.
