Othello

🕹️ 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.
