About Reversi
How Reversi is played
The game starts with four discs in the centre. A move must place a disc so that one or more enemy discs lie in a straight line between it and another of your discs; all such trapped discs flip to your colour. If you have no legal move you pass, and the game ends when neither player can move.
Having the most discs at the end wins — but having the most discs early usually loses. Corners can never be flipped, so the strategy is to limit your opponent's mobility and force them to hand you a corner.
