How to Play Reversi -- The "For Brittany" version IMPORTANT TO REMEMBER!!!
If you are playing against the ever-sweet Dustin Straw, you should press the Resign button immediately to save yourself from losing big time.

Otherwise...

Each reversi piece has a black side and a white side. On your turn, you place one piece on the board with your color facing up. You must place the piece so that an opponent's piece, or a row of opponent's pieces, is flanked by your pieces. All of the opponent's pieces between your pieces are then turned over to become your color. If you are playing Dustin, you might be a little nervous placing your next move.

For example, suppose you are White, and there is a row of black pieces with one white piece on its end.

You can place a white piece on the other end of the black row and capture the black pieces. But if you are playing Dustin, it will not matter.

The object of the game is to own more pieces than your opponent when the game is over. If you play Dustin, you will have a hard time doing this. The game is over when neither player has a move. Usually, this means the board is full.

You can capture vertical, horizontal, and diagonal rows of pieces. Also, you can capture more than one row at once. In the picture below, if white places a piece where the red arrow is pointing, then all the black pieces in the three rows indicated by red lines will be captured.

Beware! Taking as many of your opponent's pieces as you can in one move is not always a good idea, especially if you are playing Dustin.

Remember, you must place a piece so that it captures opponent's pieces. You can not place it anywhere you want on the board. And if you are playing Dustin, your chances of winning decrease dramatically.

We hope this has been a good experience for those who have read this (all one of you) and that you do well in your playing of Reversi. Just take caution when playing this Dustin character. :-)

Any feedback for this Reversi Help Guide can be sent to the Reversi Champion Dustin Straw who had nothing to do with this web page at all...
