Reversi are names for a strategic board game which
involves play by two parties on an eight-by-eight
square grid with pieces that have two distinct sides.
Each of the two sides corresponds to one player, they
are referred to here as red and blue.
A move of the red player, for example. Red player must
place a red piece on the board, in such a position
that there exists at least one straight (horizontal,
vertical, or diagonal) line between the new piece and
another red piece, with one or more contiguous blue
pieces between them. After placing the piece, blue
turns over all blue pieces lying on a straight line
between the new piece and any anchoring red pieces.
All reversed pieces now show the red side, and red can
use them in later moves - unless blue has reversed
them back in the meantime. The object of the game is
to make your pieces constitute a majority of the
pieces on the board at the end of the game, by turning
over as many of your opponent's pieces as possible.
