Information

Othello is a 19th Century board game, better known in the United States as "Reversi". The aim of the game is to place either black or white pieces to trap the opponent's pieces, flipping the trapped pieces to turn them into your own colour. The player with the most pieces in their colour on the board when no more pieces can be played is the winner.

Nintendo's first arcade videogame, Computer Othello, was based on the game, with noughts and crosses used rather than the traditional black and white pieces, thanks to the one-colour display.
