Each player must place a new piece in a position that there exists at least one straight (horizontal, vertical, or diagonal) line between the new piece and another piece of the same color, with one or more contiguous opposite pieces between them.

Black color starts first move. When player cannot move, the other player takes the turn. When neither players can move, the game ends. The winner is the player that owns more pieces.

Ratings and reviews

I would've probably loved the game if the moves doesn't move as fast, it's just when I make a move, it already made a move but with less animation, it makes the game so bad (for my opinion). Overall the AI is good, maybe adjust the beginner level a little to make it a bit easier for new players.

No ads .....at all ever....easy interface...with the ability to change colors if one desires....but this version is not easy...even on beginners level I won 11 out of 150 times...it will help if u got skills. already .......................and can implement a stragtegy........beginners will not find this fun cuz it will beat u every time....this is an awesome ad free game....but you gotta know how to play Othello/Reversi before you play this game

This game offers animations + quick play so it's suitable for beginners as well as speed players. Therefore most reviews posted are invalid. You can have the AI's last move displayed and adjust AI to your ability. This is THE Reversi app for me. Would love to see online matches coming and a way to support further app development. PS if you don't know how to play and have difficulty learning the gameplay don't leave a negative review. This is a five star app!
