Additional Othello Information
|
"Othello is a game where not all is Black and White. The lead can change hands from play to play and strategy is everything. Play is simple. Players are represented by either Black or White discs on the board. On each turn, players flank the discs of the opposing player between two of their own. Once captured, the double-sided discs are turned over and become the opposite color. If you have a move, you have to take it whether you want to or not. That’s all, that’s the entire game. But more and more discs fall to the opposing side with each turn. Where will it all end? Starting from just four discs to begin the game, play moves all over the board with as many as 64 discs placed by the final move. Play can end when one player can’t make any more moves OR when the board is full. To add to the fun, if you can make a move but you’re out of discs, your opponent has to give you one of theirs. That’s like arming the enemy! As you become more and more familiar with Othello, certain strategies will begin to emerge. Owning a corner is always an advantage as that protects your discs in the immediate vicinity - your opponent can’t outflank you. But is your opponent backing you towards a corner so they can try to control it themselves? That’s the strategy of Othello. Can you see enough moves ahead to make your opponent put a disc somewhere they don’t want to? A minute to learn…a lifetime to master!"

What Customers Say About Othello:

The product arrived in excellent condition. Othello is a great 2-person game with endless play possibilities. It teaches strategy & how to plan in advance.
Othello is fun for all ages. More challenging than checkers but not as complicated as chess.
The Othello board now has little indented box areas to put your discs so they can't slide onto another box. I always loved Othello and have a version from the 80's. An oldie but a goodie. This is a nice addition. I was psyched when my 11 year old niece asked for it for her birthday. It was hard to find it at the toy store but easy on Amazon. What I didn't like was they took away the little clear covers that covered your discs when you wanted to put the game away, now the discs could fal all over inside the box. Othello is still a great game and this version is good.
I bought this game to play on New Years Eve, rather than just watching T.V. Didn't think we'd all enjoy this game so much but we do. I was also pleasantly surprised when my five year old and I can play this together. I like that because he knows this is an "older kids" game that he can play too.
I am a teacher and highly recommend this game. It requires higher level thinking and predicting. I have actually seen children as young as Kindergarten play this game. Adults would love it too.
