Othello veterans might enjoy sticking to the Classic theme, while others might prefer the handsome Seasoned Wood theme, the adorable Sailor Moon theme or even the Persian Spray theme, inspired by traditional Iranian ceramics. Additional themes designed by guest artist Aline Corrêa are also available, giving you access to an Othello game on top of an alligator lake, inside an ancient castle, next to Egyptian pyramids, and more! • Play Online: Piccolo Online is a free online service that lets you connect with friends via easily exchangeable Game Codes to play friendly Othello games wherever you are around the world.

Reviews of Piccolo

Request

As you know from my past review, I absolutely love this app, it’s the best OTHELLO app in existence, and it is so kind of y’all to labor in love and make it free… I do have a request though; could you add a mode that allows the user to lay out the pieces as they want them laid out, so that users can practice different mid game and end game strategies against themselves (or even the AI). Thanks for your consideration.
