How to Play Othello

The Goal

Have more pieces of your color on the board than your opponent when no more moves are possible. The player with the most pieces wins.

Taking a Turn

Valid Moves

You must make a move that flips at least one opponent piece. Valid squares are highlighted with a faint dot. If you have no valid move, your turn is skipped. If neither player can move, the game ends.

Strategy Tips

Winning

The board fills up (or neither player can move) and pieces are counted. Most pieces wins. A full board with 64 pieces means the game went all the way!
