Reversi
Outflank the robot in this classic Othello duel - trap its discs to flip them to your color!
About Reversi
Reversi (also known as Othello) is a classic two-player strategy game played on an 8×8 board with double-sided discs that are black on one side and white on the other. Place your disc to outflank your opponent — any of their discs caught in a straight line between your new disc and another of your existing discs are flipped to your color. The player with the most discs of their color when the board is full (or no more moves are possible) wins. With deep strategic layers involving corner control, edge play, and mobility management, Reversi is a masterclass in tactical board gaming.

Tips & Strategies
Corners are the most valuable squares — once captured, they can never be flipped
Avoid placing discs on squares adjacent to empty corners (they help your opponent take the corner)
Control edges — edge discs are harder to flip than center discs
Maintain mobility — having more available moves gives you strategic advantage
Sometimes flipping fewer discs is better than flipping many (to maintain mobility)
Think several moves ahead — Reversi board states change dramatically each turn
