overall review score: 4.5
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
score is between 0 and 5
Reversi, also known as Othello, is a classic strategy board game played on an 8x8 grid. Players take turns placing discs with their assigned color (black or white) on the board, attempting to capture and flip their opponent's discs by surrounding them in straight lines. The game ends when neither player can make a valid move, and the player with the majority of discs of their color wins.
