Welcome to Othello Five!
Experience the timeless strategy of Othello, reimagined with an exciting new challenge. While the core mechanics of flipping your opponent's stones remain, your ultimate goal has evolved. Victory now demands a line of five consecutive stones or the complete elimination of all your opponent's pieces.
Master the Art of Flipping
Just like the classic game, placing your stone strategically allows you to flip your opponent's pieces. To achieve this, you must trap their stones between two of your own, either horizontally, vertically, or diagonally. Each successful flip brings you closer to establishing dominance on the board.
New Paths to Victory
Othello Five introduces two distinct ways to claim victory. The primary objective is to create a continuous line of five of your own stones. This line can be formed in any direction: horizontally across a row, vertically down a column, or diagonally across the board. Every move requires foresight and planning to build your winning line while simultaneously disrupting your opponent's efforts.
Alternatively, you can win by eliminating all of your opponent's pieces from the board. This often involves aggressive play, focusing on capturing as many of their stones as possible and leaving them with no valid moves. Both victory conditions demand a keen understanding of board control and strategic positioning.
