How to play Othello

[@jansustar4565]

this game used to be preinstalled on the tv when I was 6. it made no sense to me back then and seeing the actual rules brought some closure to the memories

[@user-wb4dm4gu3g]

lol same

[@pumpkingamebox]

I heard a GO player call this the Tic-Tac-Toe of table top games. The more I think it of it, the more of a sick burn it becomes.

[@dannybeane2069]

I'm curious how it was "preinstalled on the TV"

[@masterimbecile]

Same, though instead of TV I had them on one of those electronic translator thingies. One of my favs back then.

[@Legendaryfiremedia]

I'm playing for the first time and this was an incredibly well done tutorial of the game. A lot of questions I might have had were all answered. Great job.

[@TripleSGames]

Glad I could help!

[@anitav.3227]

This is the best tutorial - clear, no rapid change of frames, no wasted words - thank you so much! 😊

[@the_pickler]

I remember playing this game with my grandma all the time and I still have the same board that we played with

[@rin_blank5830]

What a good grandma😇

[@OthelloAcademy]

This is a great instructional video on Othello rules :) Just one point to add on, the top right disc of the starting position should always be black from each players' perspective by tradition :)

[@1aundulxaldin]

I became addicted to this game playing it online, but I only became interested in the game as a whole because of, well... can anyone think of a *specific game* when I quote this? _"A minute to pick up, a lifetime to perfect!"_

[@stutyaaa]

After watching your crazy good monopoly vids, i knew i can play this gane again! Thanks

[@suptommy9011]

What happens to if you consume all of the other players discs

[@mischabronstring5893]

@@TroyVan6654 Not true. It can happen rather early in the game. It is called a wipe-out. If you wipe-out your opponent's discs, you win.

[@MeesterTweester]

If a player has no discs on the board, they cannot play and they lose the game, and the opponent with 100% of the discs wins.

[@FloralTarotReader]

I love this channel❤️

[@karenalex]

Thanks. This was on a mini arcade game we bought. I was wondering what it was called.

[@markangeloflores9180]

After watching this video, I want to play and challenge my friends in our community. I'm an average player of Othello and still improving and discovering techniques. I guess my only strategy for any other level players like me is to outsmart and use deception concepts just like what I've realized and learn from Saboteur. Great and Unique game because this is the predecessor of my Tabletop boardgames and Puzzles 😁👍♥️🎲🎱🍩☕😃

[@zenbmonk1016]

Lost my second online game from a player in Japan. My record stands at 7-3-0. Have only gone up against 2 online players (Both from Japan) this year. Getting back into to it after not playing for about the past 2 years.

[@W3Rn1ckz]

I never understood this game until you explained the outflanking

[@k-berry8771]

I used to think Othello and Go were the same thing

[@versuzzero5335]

I'm tempted to make a 4 player version, maybe even a 6 player version of this using dice/cubes instead of discs...

[@jacobonline6994]

this was so good at explaining how to play. Well done lmao

[@OthelloAcademy]

Welcome to the World of Othello :) definitely a game that will activate your brain

[@dirkkrohn1907]

We had this on the atari 2600 growing up. good times.

[@vinauttv7167]

My favorite game of all time.

[@TheInkPitOx]

This is the only version of "reversi" I am familiar with. I was surprised that it was a version of a completely different game.

[@Tomek1949]

Me: Are you securing the corners? You: The corners? Why? Me: Ahhhh, see, if you take all four corners... Also me: You can flip the script on your opponent!

[@damodaraomalley3974]

Very well explained. Thank you

[@Tasoq]

Seeing it explained like this makes it so much easier to understand than trying to read the instructions lol

[@BrimleyGames]

I love Othello!!! This is such a great game!!!

[@ioplop3319]

Should I buy

[@marquisfitzgerald1106]

Agreed

[@Tomek1949]

Well, Othello and Reversi can also be named Renegade.

[@nehadas3395]

Same

[@thaecrasis]

Thanks, this was really well explained!

[@TrulyLordOfNothing]

question: Do you get just once chance to outflank you opponent or can you outflank multiple times (in different areas of the board) during your single turn?

[@TroyVan6654]

You only place down one disk on one turn. That one disk may outflank multiple lines, as shown at 1:04.

[@maryamarfeen5741]

If you have a chance to outflank two or more discs then you can

[@411Lemon]

I remember playing this when i was 4 to about 8. My family couldn’t figure it out and would be annoyed when i won all the time. Gave it up because nobody really challenged me to it outside of my family

[@TheUntouchableSpidertron]

I want to challenge you on plato 🤷🏼‍♂️

[@chuckolator1859]

Really well made video, thanks!

[@jaredphilibert]

but, like..... where are the legal spots to place disks? How can you tell where you can and cannot play?

[@mischabronstring5893]

A legal spot is a spot where your disc-to-be-placed borders at least one opponent's disc, and behind that disc (either horizontally, vertically or diagonally) there is at some point a dics of your colour again. So, if there is a horizontal line BLACK-WHITE and you play black, you can put it on the right of this. If there is a line BLACK-WHITE-WHITE-WHITE you can also put it to the right of it (and flip all three white discs in one go).

[@Phoenix-hl5ll]

Thanks for explaining the rules

[@9adam4]

Why say that each player gets 30 disks at the beginning? That's not really true if each player keeps making moves as long as there are any disks left. Isn't it effectively just a single pool of 60 disks?

[@bellerazi70]

Great explanation of this game thank you

[@srepmub]

in fact the player going second has a small advantage, since (if neither side skips a turn) they can have the last move.

[@tom_something]

Thank you! I had an NES cartridge with Othello on it. The last time I played it was probably when I was seven or eight. It was always against the computer, and I couldn't suss out the rules for myself. Naturally, I lost every time I tried to play, because I didn't even know how to try to win. Can I assume that a player cannot "flank" themselves? For example, if the black player places a piece to flank their opponent horizontally, but this placement results in a shape where the white player's already-placed pieces essentially flank the black pieces vertically, the black player's pieces in that vertical line do not turn white, right? If this assumption is correct, then it seems like a good strategy, filling in gaps so it's impossible for the opponent to flank those pieces on that axis.

[@longdien959]

why at 1:52 we can't flip those 2 white pieces?! i thought they're in same line with last 2?!

[@donkylefernandez4680]

Excellent demonstration.

[@dragoknight589]

Having never heard of this game before, I thought this would have something to do with Shakespeare.

[@baronblansit]

Very good tuturial

[@RedStrikerBeetleborg]

but isn't othello and reversi one in the same

[@Paolo_PJ_Andreetti]

Very well explained ✌️

[@dking657]

It's like Go board game

[@tharunshakthivel1060]

This game is addictive

[@teachingdiary2532]

good teaching

[@jasleenkaur4092]

Very helpful 🙌🏼

[@swatijain1018]

how many we can flip plz tell

[@swatijain1018]

maximum 3 times ?

[@mischabronstring5893]

As many opponent disc as there are between your newly placed disc and an existing disc of yourself. In all three (horizontally, vertically and diagonally) directions.

[@coordinator3039]

How about Ratuki

This is my favorite game

[@sand9346]

If you have a phone download OthelloQuest you can play on that.

[@kevintippin2122]

Here after "Roboco accidentally says "Board sandwich" to Rushia and Suisei"

[@LeotheTiger1234]

The first time I ever played this game, it was the NES version of the game. I lost, obviously.

[@Tomek1949]

Also, you can win by flipping every single disc

[@aipa1560]

I was about to say that.

[@mischabronstring5893]

Which, in a sense, is an exceptional instance of the rule that if no one has any valid move left, the game ends.

[@garyfleming7028]

I ordered this game online. If I was playing, I would say white goes first to make it synonymous with chess, so that it makes sense to me.

[@joaozin003]

Isn't this called Reversi?

[@Aminerami5749]

Thank you

[@pretary1845]

Aaaand I'm lost at 1:10... And onward. Like 1:37. How the heck did this happen in the first place? Why are there two whites between two blacks?? None of this makes sense..
