- Reversi (also known as Othello) is a version of this well known game for the
- amiga computer. The board consists of 64 fields, where the four in the
- middle are occupied by two blue and two yellow stones.

- The players now put a stone on a free field (by clicking on it)
- alternately, in a way that one or more rows (horizontal, vertical,
- diagonal) of the opponents stones are enclosed at the endpoints by two
- stones of the own color. The enclosed stones are turned to the own color
- then. If a player cannot enclose at least on stone he must not move, until
- he can enclose some again.
