Play Reversi online
Reversi is a board game where placing one disc can change the ownership of a whole line. You trap opposing discs between a new disc and one already yours, flipping the trapped line. I like the way the board can swing late in a game, even when one player seems far ahead halfway through.
How to play
- Open Reversi and choose solo, an online friend or same-phone play.
- Black moves first. Choose a legal square that traps at least one opposing disc.
- Place the disc and watch the trapped line flip to your colour.
- Take turns making legal captures. A player without a legal move passes.
- When the board is full or neither player can move, the larger disc count wins.
Modes and a useful starting point
Available modes: solo play, online with a friend, versus play, same-phone play.
Hover over or focus a highlighted square to preview the discs it would flip. Corners cannot be flipped once occupied, so the squares beside them deserve care. Before chasing the biggest immediate capture, consider what move you are giving your opponent. Keeping useful options open can matter more than having the most discs early on.
