Reversi is a classic two-player board game usually played on an 8×8 grid. The goal of the game is to flip the opponent’s pieces and have the most pieces of your own on the board. Each player takes turns placing their pieces, with each move requiring the flipping of at least one of the opponent’s pieces. Key strategies in Reversi include cleverly controlling the corners and edges of the board and strategically placing pieces to gradually dominate the board. The player with the most pieces at the end of the game wins.
Game Rules:

Board Setup: At the start of the game, there are four pieces on the board: two black pieces and two white pieces, arranged in the center. The black pieces are placed in the top-left and bottom-right corners, and the white pieces are placed in the top-right and bottom-left corners.

Gameplay: Players take turns, placing one piece at a time. When placing a piece, at least one of the opponent’s pieces must be flipped. A flipped piece is one that is surrounded by the player’s pieces either vertically, horizontally, or diagonally.

Flipping Rule: If a player’s piece can “sandwich” an opponent’s piece (i.e., the opponent’s piece is surrounded on both sides by the player’s pieces), the opponent’s piece will be flipped and become the player’s piece. Flipped pieces can be in horizontal, vertical, or diagonal directions.

No Move Available: If a player cannot make a legal move, they must skip their turn.

Winning Condition: The game ends when the board is filled or both players can no longer make a move. The player with the most pieces on the board at the end wins.

Key strategies in Reversi include controlling the corners and edges of the board, as these positions are harder for the opponent to flip. Additionally, cleverly utilizing flipping opportunities and strategic placement are crucial to securing victory.
