Reversi is a strategy board game for two players, played on an 8×8 uncheckered board. Players take turns placing disks on the board with their assigned color facing up. Any of the opponent's disks that are in a straight line and bounded by the disk just placed and another disk of the current player's color are flipped to the current player's color. The object of the game is to have the majority of disks displaying your color when the last playable empty square is filled. Perfect for enjoying with family and friends, you can also challenge yourself against AI with five levels of difficulty. Be warned, overcoming the highest difficulty AI is a true challenge!
