This Board was introduced at the WOC 2000 and it is Mattel's current version. Unfortunately it is not (yet?) available in Germany. Its playground is made of felt and it has ridges, so the discs don't slide off their squares. It's comfortable to play on. At Amazon for USD 14.99 and at Games Paradise for AUD 44.95.

I was lucky to find a few of these boards in a store, because it is not produced in Germany any more. It is a bit bigger than the new version and the discs lie in the grooves better.

This traveller set is interesting, especially because of its small size. Flipping is quite difficult, but when travelling it's acceptable. This game was bought in Austria at Bannert.

This board is very good to play, because the board and the discs are quite big. Very "fast" players can flip 64 discs in about 20-22 seconds on this board.

This is a very good traveller set. The discs are magnetic but still very easy to flip. Unfortunately, this board is only aviable in Japan as far as I know.

This Board is made of wood, has a felt-like playground and looks very elegant. The discs are white and have a black and a red pattern. The grooves in which you put the discs before the game are not very useful, because the discs are very loose in them. Velvet is underneath the board to prevent scratches on table surface. I have bought this board in the KaDeWe in Berlin.

This flat reversi game is made of cardboard and it is very old. I got it from someone who bought it many years ago, and it still was wrapped when I got it. It has sinkings, so the discs do not slide off their places. The discs are white and have a red and a yellow dot. Flipping is not as comfortable as on the good boards. On the back you can play Barbacan.
