How to play – step by step
- Trap and flip – Place a disc so a straight line of the other colour sits between it and one of yours. Every trapped disc flips to your colour.
- Every direction – Lines run across, up and down, and on the slant. One disc can flip several lines at once.
- Must flip – A move must flip at least one disc. Soft dots show where you can play. With no move you pass.
- Most discs wins – When neither side can move, the colour with more discs wins. Corners can never be flipped back.
History & origins
Reversi became popular in England in the late 19th century, using two-coloured discs that change sides when surrounded.
Othello was developed and marketed later in Japan, establishing a standard opening and a major competitive tradition.
The two names are closely linked but their historical rules are not always identical. Jawna’s game belongs to this disc-flipping strategy family.
