Multicolor Othello is the extension of the popular board game for two players called Othello. In the original Othello, there are 64 disks black on one side and white on the other. This game uses disks of one, two, or four colors assigned to each player that are You and your Phone. Players take turns placing disks on the board with their assigned colors facing up. Any disks of the opponent's colors that are in a straight line and bounded by the disk just placed and another disk of a current player's color are turned over to the current player's colors. The object of the game is to have the majority of disks turned to display your colors when the last playable empty square is filled.
