@loggerbomb It's older than that, look it up on wikipedia under "reversi" but not as old as chess. " The game's first known-to-be reliable mention is in 21 August 1886 edition of The Saturday Review. "
Thanks for this. I've never played this game and we recently got the Othello mod game (which are 2 sided cards instead of tiles and a board). Now I know how to play it.
i love Othello. in fortunatly, I've played only vs pc. Is there a blog where I can play vs a human in line? thank you if you answer me. sorry for my spaghetti-english.
Black and white discs in step 1 are in the wrong positions for Othello - black discs should be the other diagonal and in step 5, what kind of muppet would play 16g7?
There is some lose connection yes.. The game reminded the creator of the fight for the girl Desdemona between Othello (a Moor) and the white Portuguese De Jago. There are also some opening positions which are named after characters in the play.
I keep losing to my 9 year old sister...I am SOOOO learning strategies!!! >:[

This game was made in 1971?!?! Crap. I thought it would have been as old as chess.

i ve been playing this game since i was 12, nobody plays me anymore bcause they'll know i'll win
trick is be the 1st the edge and corners and you will never lose trust me
if you can own 2 sides and 3 corners you might aswell put the Tv and kettle on game over

there is a fun variant, I call REVERSE othello, the only difference is you win the game by ending with the LOWEST score, its INTERESTING.

1:06 both black and white have moves and can place a disc on the board ;)
nice vid
relax about C and X squares guys, thats a tutorial not a strategy advanced master guide!

What showed on step 5 is highly risky,I mean, the position the white took.
In other ways, it's easy to earn an angle for the opponent.
2 moves and the black owns an angle ;)

Actually, it was invented in 1883 by a Englishman named Lewis Waterman.

Reversi NOT Othello was invented in 1883. In Reversi the four centre squares empty at the start of play.
