Othello is the internationally acclaimed two player strategy game that takes a minute to learn...and a lifetime to master! Othello is an abstract, two-player strategy game played on an 8×8, 64-square board. 64 discs are used, one side being completely white in colour, other side being completely black.
Black plays first places a colour disc, black side. uppermost, on any square on the board such that helshe 'sandwiches' at least one of his/her opponents pieces between the colour disc he/she has just placed and any other of his/her colour already on the board. Play continues alternately... First black, then white.
The object is to outflank your opponent by having your colour discs on both ends of a row of your opponent's discs. When you do this, you flip your opponent's discs to your colour! But be careful--your opponent may then outflank you and turn all the discs back to his/her colour! The strategic possibilities are endless!.
