Reversi
Black moves first. Place a disc so it traps one or more of your opponent’s discs between your new piece and another disc you already own, in any direction — every trapped disc flips to your color. Highlighted squares show every legal move; if you have none, your turn is skipped automatically. Play locally with a friend, or challenge the bot across three difficulty levels. When neither side has a move left, whoever holds the most discs wins.
How to Play Reversi
Click or tap a highlighted square to place a disc there — only legal moves are highlighted.
- Corners can never be flipped back once you own them, so prioritize them over edges or center squares.
- Having fewer legal moves late in the game can force your opponent into a bad position — more moves available isn't always better.
