How to Play The Othello

Every match pulls you into that satisfying push-and-pull of flipping your opponent's pieces and watching the board shift in your favor. Whether you are picking up Othello for the first time or looking for a serious test of strategy, the 30 difficulty levels grow with you.

Choose a difficulty level that matches your confidence, from beginner to expert
Place your stone to outflank the computer's pieces and flip them to your color
Win the match to unlock a special board style as a reward
Replay levels without using hints or undos to earn medals
Collect medals to reveal new boards and stone designs

Controls

Tap or click a valid square to place your stone; the board highlights legal moves so you can focus on strategy rather than rules.

Scoring

The player with the most stones of their color on the board when no moves remain wins the round.

When does a round end?

The game ends when neither player has a legal move left, and the stone count decides the winner.

Tips & Tricks

Corners are permanent once taken — prioritize moves that give you corner access and deny it to the computer
Avoid placing stones next to an empty corner early on; you hand the computer a route to flip it
Start on lower difficulty levels not just to win, but to study how the AI responds to edge play
Skip hints and undos from the very first game on a level; medals only count if you go clean
