About
Reversi (Othello) rewards patience and corner hunger. A single disc can flip an entire row; a quiet move early can snowball into a landslide. Corners are gold because they never flip. Matches on GAMEAREA are crisp 8×8 duels with legal-move highlights so you can focus on shape, not rule-checking.

How to play
- 1 Place a disc on your turn so it brackets at least one straight line of opponent discs.
- 2 Bracketed discs flip to your color automatically — horizontal, vertical, and diagonal lines count.
- 3 If you have no legal move, your turn passes; otherwise passing is not allowed.
- 4 When neither player can move, the game ends — more discs wins.
- 5 Corners are stable — prioritize them, then edges, then interior traps.
