🕹️ How to Play Othello
🎯 Objective
The goal is to have more discs of your color (black or white) on the board than your opponent by the end of the game.
⚙️ Setup
*The game starts with four discs placed in the center of the board:
two black and two white, arranged diagonally.
*Black always moves first.
🔄 Gameplay
*Players take turns placing one disc of their color on an empty square.
*Each move must capture at least one of the opponent’s discs.
*To capture, your new disc must sandwich one or more of the opponent’s discs between your new disc and another of your color — horizontally, vertically, or diagonally.
*All captured discs are flipped to your color.
🚫 Passing
If a player has no valid moves, they must pass their turn.
If both players cannot move, the game ends.
🏁 End of Game
The game ends when:
*The board is full, or
*Neither player can make a move.
The player with the most discs of their color wins!
💡 Tips for Beginners
*Corners are powerful — once captured, they can’t be flipped.
*Avoid giving your opponent easy access to corners.
*Think ahead: one move can flip many discs, but might open opportunities for your opponent.
