Reversi

How to play Reversi

Tap an empty square that lets you bracket one or more opponent discs in a straight line. Every bracketed disc flips to your colour.

If you have no legal move, the turn passes. The board ends when it is full or neither player can move.

The player with the most discs wins. Play against the computer or pass the phone for a two-player match.

Tips for a better run

• Corners can never be flipped, so do not give one away cheaply.
• Look at the whole line, not just the disc next to your move; every bracketed disc flips.
• When the board is tight, a move that gives your opponent fewer options is often better than a big immediate flip.

Good for

A calm five-minute strategy break for one or two players. The board is small enough to read on a phone, and every move is visible to both people sharing it.

Controls

• Tap a highlighted square to place a disc and flip the line.
