How to Play The Othello

Every match draws you in with smooth animations and a board that feels genuinely alive under your moves. Whether you are picking up Othello for the first time or looking for a computer opponent that can actually push back, there is a level here calibrated for you.

  1. Pick a difficulty level from 1 to 30 that matches your confidence
  2. Place your first stone and watch the board shift as your opponent's pieces flip
  3. Defeat the computer to unlock special-style boards and stones
  4. Collect medals by winning without leaning on hints or the undo button
  5. Work up the difficulty ladder one level at a time until you reach expert

Controls

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

Scoring

Count your stones when the board fills or no legal moves remain — the player with more stones on the board wins.

When does a round end?

A round ends when neither player has a legal move left or every square is filled, at which point the stone count decides the winner.

Tips & Tricks

  • Corners are permanent once taken — steer your early moves toward positions that threaten all four corners
  • Fewer stones mid-game is often an advantage; a small footprint gives your opponent fewer safe edges to anchor
  • Skip the hint button if a medal matters to you — even one peek disqualifies that run
  • Start on a mid-range level like 10 or 15 rather than level 1; you will learn faster against an opponent that actually fights back
