How to play Othello

Players place a disk on the grid to trap opposing disks in straight lines, then flip the trapped pieces to their own color. It feels like a quick, tactical contest where each move can change the board sharply, and it suits two players who enjoy direct abstract strategy. Othello is for 2 players, takes 30 minutes, and is for ages 8 and up.
