♦ Gain experience points (XP) by earning game achievements (sign in is required).
♦ Compare your score against other players on the leaderboards (sign in is required).
♦ Import/export game on local and remote storage.
♦ Game engine performs multiple moves in case you have no valid place to go, due to the well known rule "If one player can not make a valid move, play passes back to the other player".

Game rules
Each player must place a new piece in a position that there exists at least one straight (horizontal, vertical, or diagonal) line between the new piece and another piece of the same color, with one or more contiguous opposite pieces between them.

Black color starts first move. When player cannot move, the other player takes the turn. When neither players can move, the game ends. The winner is the player that owns more pieces.

IMPORTANT NOTICE FOR BEGINNERS: our game performs multiple moves, as any similar application, only in case you cannot move as you don't have any valid place to go, i.e. when you have to pass your turn according to well known game rule "If one player can not make a valid move, play passes back to the other player".

I find the lightning speed at which the computer opponent lays down its counter after my move is way too fast to register what just happened. The computer needs to chill out a bit, it's humanly impossible for me to ever win. I had to give up.

I have always loved Othello even when it was a board game. This app is great, but the only thing I don't like is the AI always goes first. I feel it ought to alternate back and forth between the player and the AI going first.
