Othello

Othello is a board game that we got last week as a gift from Sarah when she left at the end of Term 1.


The aim of Othello is to get the board covered in the colour you are - either black or white.  


First choose a colour.  White goes first. You place 2 counters each in the very middle of the board.  White must put one of his / her counters beside the black counter.  You have to trap the other players counter. Here is an example
            0 0 0
Once you've trapped them by having your counter at the beginning and end of the line, you can turn the counters in-between into your colour.  Keep playing until you've filled up the board or if you can't move.  When you fill up the board it's whoever has the most counters wins.


Happy playing!
