Objective of the Reversi game:
The aim is to trap one or more of your opponent’s discs between two (2) of your own. When you trap discs, you can flip them over and thereby reverse their color to make them yours.
Rules of the Reversi Game:
When playing against the computer, you will make the first move by placing a black disc on the board. The computer will have the white discs. The players take turn in placing one disc (game piece) on the board, with their designated color facing up.
You can only trap disks in straight or diagonal lines, and you are only allowed to make a move if you are able to trap one or more of your opponent’s discs. If there’s no move you can make to trap discs, the move passes back to the other player.
The Reversi game is over (Stall) if neither player can make a move to trap the opponent’s discs, or when both players have placed all their disks on the board.
Winner of the Reversi game:
Whoever has the highest number of discs on the board is the winner.
Basic tactics of the Reversi game:
The discs placed in the corners of the board are immune to be flipped for the rest of the game. And discs placed along the edge can only be attacked from the sides. Consequently, it would be a helpful tactic to secure positions like that.
Likewise, it can be a good tactic to avoid giving your opponent the opportunity to occupy those places. Try not to be the first one to place a disc on a position next to a corner or the edge, because that will give your opponent a chance to secure that corner or that edge position in a later move.
