Lukeing_good*Reversi* is a 2-player game played on an 8 by 8 board using discs. These discs represent the players' points and are colored white on one side and black on the other. One player plays the discs black side up while the other player plays the discs white side up.1archivecontrol_editmode_centercomment000
Lukeing_goodThe *objective* of the game is to place your discs on the board so as to outflank your opponent's discs, flipping them over to your color. The player who has the most discs on the board at the end of the game wins. The game also ends when one of the players have no discs left on the board2archivecontrol_editmode_centercomment000
Lukeing_goodPlayers take turns making moves. A move consists of a player placing a disc of his color on the board. The disc must be placed so as to outflank one or more opponent discs, which are then flipped over to the current player's color.
