A game of dramatic reversals... Othello, also known as Reversi, is a classic board game. Although there is no formal proof of the game's origin, two places have been suggested from its invention. One is China, from a game called 'Fan Mian', the other is from Lewis Waterman and John W. Mollett in 1888, who made this game available. The rules of Othello are much simpler than many other board games. However, easy to learn doesn't mean easy to play well. That comes from a good saying, 'one minute to learn, but a lifetime to master'! Each Othello checker is black on one side and white on the other. Black plays first and places a checker, black side uppermost, on any square on the board such that he 'sandwiches' at least one of his opponents pieces between the checker he has just placed and any other of his colour already on the board. Othello-Another Variation. This is yet another variation of the game Othello. You can choose who starts playing-you or the computer. Reversi is a strategy board game for two players, played on an 8×8 uncheckered board. There are sixty-four identical game pieces called disks (often spelled discs), which are light on one side and dark on the other. Players take turns placing disks on the board with their assigned color facing up. The play opens with Roderigo, a rich and dissolute gentleman, complaining to Iago, an ensign, that Iago has not told him about the secret marriage between Desdemona, the daughter of a Senator named Brabantio, and Othello, a Moorish general in the Venetian army. Othello sees this, and Iago convinces him that Cassio has received the handkerchief from Desdemona. Enraged and hurt, Othello resolves to kill his wife and asks Iago to kill Cassio. Othello proceeds to make Desdemona's life miserable, hitting her in front of visiting Venetian nobles. By emphasising Roderigo's failed bid for Desdemona, and his own dissatisfaction with serving under Othello, Iago convinces Roderigo to wake Brabantio, Desdemona's father, and tell him about his daughter's elopement. Iago plants it in Cassio's lodgings as evidence of Cassio and Desdemona's affair. After he has planted the handkerchief, Iago tells Othello to stand apart and watch Cassio's reactions while Iago questions him about the handkerchief. This tightly constructed work revolves around four central characters: Othello, a Moorish general in the Venetian army; his beloved wife, Desdemona; his loyal lieutenant, Cassio; and his trusted but unfaithful ensign, Iago.
