Reversi Classic

What Is Reversi Classic?

Reversi Classic is an engaging strategy game, which has certainly been wonderful since its inception a number of years ago-well actually within the past due 19th and early 20th century. The premise is simple but highly interesting: simply try and keep an upper hand over your opponent in switching-back his pieces on various occasions to your own side. With few rules but a very intricate strategic framework, the game has passed through many centuries and taken the fancy of puzzle makers and casual gamers alike.

How to Play

The game goes on 64 grids. Each player with 64 pieces arranged at random in an X shape in the middle of the board. Players take turns putting pieces on the board adjacent to an opposing piece. If a piece is placed so that it in effect sandwiches one or more opponents' pieces between two of yours, those sandwiched pieces will be flipped into your color. A typical game is won when the board is full or neither player can make a move, and the player with the most pieces wins.

Tips and Tricks

• Control the Center: When you have pieces in the center, this gives you more choices for flipping your opponent's pieces.
• Secure the Edges: Controlling the edges of the board can lead to a big advantage because it limits what the opponent can do and sets you up well for flipping more pieces.
• Plan Ahead: Always consider possibilities one or two turns ahead. Think of where your opponent will be putting down their next piece and how to work against it.
• Don't Overcommit: Don't place pieces that are isolated and will hardly ever get flipped. Instead, focus on building chains that will flip multiple pieces simultaneously.
