Description

Othello is a conversion of a known board game, that is played on a 8 by 8 grid. Two players take turns in placing a disc on one of the empty tiles of the playing field. This disc is placed such that at least one of the opponent's discs is between two own discs. These trapped discs are then converted to the other player's discs. When a player cannot trap an opponent's disc, the player's turn is over. The game ends when there are no empty tiles left. The player with the most discs wins. When one of the players loses all discs, the game also ends.
