From the developers who brought you Mr Word and Mr Draughts, Mr Turn is a brilliant implementation of the classic board game Othello. Taking away all the unnecessary stuff, Mr Turn takes you straight into the game you love. There are no menus, not even a start button, you're just straight in. Click the small "i" button to access options, which are 1 or 2 player, and Easy, Medium or Hard (1 player only). You can switch between 1 and 2 player mode at any time and even change difficulty level in the middle of a game (great if you are struggling to beat Mr Turn). The board begins in the traditional Othello start position. Player 1 is black so you must lay a black piece by tapping on the board. With each turn you must capture one or more pieces of the opposite colour. Capture pieces horizontally, vertically or diagonally by surrounding them on both ends of the line. Playing against Mr Turn in 1 player mode, Easy level is perfect for beginners. Medium provides a challenge for most normal players, and Hard will defeat all but the best players. Mr Turn is beautifully designed and very minimalist, in keeping with the Mr Word philosophy. Enjoy!
