REVERSI GAME

Brief Overview:
Reversi, also known as Othello, is a classic board game played by two players on an 8x8
grid. The game is easy to learn but offers deep strategic possibilities. Players compete to
dominate the board by capturing their opponent's discs and converting them to their own
color.

Explanation:
Reversi is played with 64 identical game pieces, which are white on one side and black on
the other. The game starts with four discs placed in the center of the grid: two of each
color, arranged diagonally. Players take turns placing their discs on the board. A valid
move is one that sandwiched opponent discs between the newly placed disc and another
disc of the current player's color. Sandwiched discs are then flipped to the current player's
color. The game ends when the grid is filled, or no more valid moves can be made. The
player with the most discs of their color facing up wins.

Rules (Step-by-Step):

1-Setup:
The game is played on an 8x8 grid.
Four discs are placed in the center: two white and two black, diagonally.
2-Turns:
Players take turns to make a move.
A move consists of placing a disc of the player's color on an empty square such that
it captures one or more of the opponent's discs by trapping them between the
newly placed disc and another disc of the player's color, either horizontally,
vertically, or diagonally.
Captured discs are flipped to the current player's color.
3-Valid Moves:
A move must capture at least one of the opponent's discs.
If a player cannot make a valid move, their turn is forfeited.

4-Winning the Game:


The game ends when the grid is filled, or no more valid moves can be made.
The player with the most discs of their color facing up on the board wins the game.

5-Strategy:
Players aim to control corners and edges, as they are more difficult to flip.
Players often try to create patterns that lead to long sequences of captures.
Reversi is a game of skill and strategy, and mastering it requires anticipating your
opponent's moves and planning ahead. It's a timeless game that continues to challenge
players of all ages.
