Othello

 

One of the classic 2-player-games in a new edition, on the occasion of the 25 years jubilee. 64 doublesided pieces (one side black, one side white) are placed alternately on the 8x8 board, in a way that encloses a piece of the opponent between an already placed piece and the new piece. This piece is then turned over to one’s own colour. If such a move is not possible passes till he can move. When no placement is possible the player with the majority of pieces on the board wins the game.
