Othello/Reversi in general
Othello/Reversi is a strategic game played by two players on a board with 64 squares using two-colored discs.
Invented in England in the late 19th century, Reversi was licensed by Goro Hasegawa in the 1970's, updated
with some new rules and renamed Othello. Since then, Othello has been sold worldwide and it is now the most
sold strategy board game under license. Since 1977 there have been annual World Othello Championships held
in cities around the globe.
