Hello everyone!
Today we're going to talk about Reversi!
Place your pawns, 2 players from 7 years old for 10 to 20 minutes, to reverse the game and impose your color!
Reversi is played on a 64-square board, with two-color pawns, black and white.
Two players compete with the aim of conquering the game board by placing the most pawns of their color. The game ends when one of the two players can no longer place pawns, even if the 64 squares are not occupied.
Each player has 32 pawns at the start of the game, then they choose their respective color, black or white. Each player will keep this color throughout the game and will therefore place these pawns on the side of their color.
At the start, the players place two pawns each facing each other and crossed so that each of their white pawns is facing a black pawn. Each in turn, the players will place a pawn of their color on each side of the other player's pawns to surround the line and turn it over.
We therefore need two pawns of our color to surround the opponent's pawns and be able to turn over the line or the captured pawns. We turn over our opponent's pawns on the side of our color and they are now ours.
The black pawns start. You must always play next to pawns that are already placed on the game board, you cannot play away from this area. If you cannot play, you then pass your turn.
By surrounding the opponent's pawns, you can turn over a few pawns, a line or several if the position of our pawn allows them to be captured. The row of pawns turned over must be continuous in order to be able to surround it.
It must not be cut by one of your pawns or contain an empty space for the capture to be validated. We must then absolutely turn all the pawns in the row, even if this does not benefit us for the rest of the game. A pawn can be removed from the game to be placed elsewhere if the row of pawns has not been turned over or if the other player has not yet played.
If one of the players has no more pawns but can still play, the other player must give him pawns until one of the players can no longer play. The game ends as soon as both players can no longer place pawns.
The player with the majority color on the board wins the game. We subtract the number of points of the losing player from those of the winner to know the number of points he has won.
If for example the player with black pawns has 37 pawns and the one with white pawns has 27, the player with black pawns will win 37-27, so 10 points. We can play in two rounds and a beautiful or count up to 100 points to have a definitive winner.
Have a good day and good game ;)
