A lifetime to master".I used to play Othello as an actual board game (years ago); and then played an earlier computer version, which was called "Iago" (the latter was presumably named after Iago, a character in Shakespeare's play "Othello").This computer version of Othello is quite good.There are several settings available to play against the AI: Beginner, Easy, Medium, Hard, Harder, and Hardest.However, I've found that it crashes a lot - especially when it looks like I'm going to beat the AI on the "Harder" setting ("Yay, I'm going to win this time ... I'm going to beat it ... this is going well ... aw, geez, it's crashed again!"), which can be really annoying.The game also has multiplayer options, so you can either set your brain against the AI or versus some human players (provided that you can find an opponent online at the same time as yourself - which may be easier said than done; although you always have the option of arranging some matches against a friend).Despite the too-often crashes, I still quite enjoy the game.For anyone who enjoys Checkers, Chess, or similar games, Othello is worthwhile taking a look at.. Great game, still haven't got through the harder levels but a decent timewaster if you want to use your brain rather than just blasting away in a shoot em up.. This is my favorite board game but unfortunatley online play is pretty dead.. There are stability issues, the game crashes often in the middle of a match. It's nowhere near as good or as fun as Freeverse Software's late, lamented REVERSI: THE ECLIPSE, which was everything that this game is not in terms of design and playability and entertainment value. But -- that game is defunct, and this is the only game of its type (that I'm aware of) now available to me... so I guess for the price I can't complain. I'm basically glad to have it, it's nice to have a game or two in the collection that you can play QUICKLY without a big time involvement.. my mother like it. Very buggy. The AI often say "the AI has no moves, its your turn again" - however there is a lot of moves for the AI to do. The game crashes a lot on my Mac (mid-game) and I have not one single time succeed to play against another player (ranked). Money back please!!!. Had this on my wishlist and snagged it when it was on sale. Don't reget buying, it's a decent time sink.. First of all, these reveiwers saying this is not "Reversi" but actually "Othello" I have no idea what they are talking about. I've been playing Reversi\/Othello for a long time, as well as have been researching board and card games, and I have never encountered a version that didn't start with four pieces in the center, and I've always found "Reversi" and "Othello" used interchangeably. But games like this are old and acquire many rules over time. Who can really say, and does it really matter that much?Now, as for the game itself, don't buy it unless it's on a pretty heavy sale. I waited until it fell down to about $3, and had I paid a dime more than that I'd have been pretty upset. While functional it lacks polish. Only two varieties of pieces, no varieties of boards or backgrounds. The background music is annoying with no other options. The sound effects are grating. Seems like small stuff, but they are all things that should be present for $10 whole wing-wangs. In 3-D mode the pieces flip over in a very satisfying way, but if you make a large capture the computer goes immediately after while your pieces are still flipping. And if you make a large capture, and the computer makes a large capture, your first pieces could be flipping back before your captured pieces are finished turning over. I find it to be incredibly annoying.All of these seems like small complaints and they are, but to be charging $10 I'd expect a lot more. I'd expect a lot more especially when you can just google "Reversi" or "Othello" and find a low tech flash version on a website and play for free. So save your $10 and put it towards a real Othello\/Reversi board you can buy at any Toys'R'us.
