Othello

Anyone play Othello?
I've gotten pretty good at it over the past month or so, playing against the computer. I've learned from it, but it doesn't learn.
I just murdered it 18/0! First time I've been proud of murdering, lol.

When marketed by anyone besides Pressman, it's called reversi.
It's played on an 8x8 board. Each time you play, you much flip over at least one of your opponent's pieces. You flip pieces by outflanking them: having one of your pieces on either side; an old one and the new one. That's very basic rules; check out something else for more detailed instructions.

Re: Othello

Good book. Wait. Fun game.


Ask me what I'm doing, wait an hour than roll a die, if it's 4-6, I'm playing Skyrim, if it's 1, I'm eating, if it's 2-3 I'm programming.

Re: Othello

I really like it. The trick is to get your pieces in the corners  smile

Yep. And backing up to the corners is almost as good.
