Reversi
Reversi is a timeless strategy game that pits you against an opponent on an 8x8 grid, where every move flips the board in your favor—or screws you over. You start with four discs in the center—two black, two white—and take turns placing your color (black or white) to sandwich your rival’s discs between yours, flipping them to your side. A legal move needs at least one straight line—horizontal, vertical, or diagonal—where your disc traps the enemy’s between two of yours. The goal? End up with more of your color on the board when no moves are left, usually when all 64 squares are filled or both players pass. It’s simple to learn but deep as hell—early plays might net you a bunch of flips, but overreaching can leave you exposed later. Corners are gold; once you claim them, they’re unflippable, anchoring your turf. The vibe’s clean and no-frills—think a basic grid and discs, maybe with a digital polish if you’re playing online. No timers in classic setups, so you can stew over your strategy, but some versions speed it up for quick matches. Perfect for a mental sparring session, whether against a friend or an AI that’ll humble you fast. How many discs do you think you’d flip before the board turns against you?
