How to play Reversi

The aim of the game is to control as much of the board as possible. Each players takes it in turn to place counters on the board. The game finishes when the board is full, with the player who has the most counters on the board being the winner

You can capture your opponents pieces in horizontal, vertical or diagonal lines. If you place your pieces either side a row of your opponents pieces, you capture the entire row, and the intervening pieces become yours.

You can only place a counter in a square which results in you capturing some of your opponents pieces. If there are no possible moves which do this you forfeit your turn.

The corners and edges are valuable since these are harder to surround. A counter on the edge can only be taken if your opponent places pieces along the edge on either side, which is easier to defend against. A counter in the corner can never be captured, so controlling the corners of the board is very important.
