Welcome to the game of Reversi, which is a classic board game dating back to late 19th century England. The most commonly played modern version of the game has been marketed as the Othello board game since the 1970s.

Teams take turns placing black and white discs (that look like checkers) on an 8x8 game board. If one color surrounds checkers of another color in a straight line or on a diagonal, then that color can flip the checker of the other color to that player's color. The winner has the most checkers of their own color at the end of the game.

In this Star Wars Reversi app, I have turned the board game into a game that can be played on a desktop computer or a mobile phone. Only now the checkers are now icons representing Leia (for the Rebel Alliance) and Darth Vader (for the Empire). In this version, you play the Leia pieces one on each turn, and the computer drops Darth Vader pieces at random. Therefore the game becomes you playing against the computer, relying on your intelligence to flip the Darth Vader pieces and win the game by finishing with more Leia pieces on the board than Darth Vader pieces. A scoreboard at the top of the screen keeps track of how many black and white pieces are on the board at any given time.

But you are a reasonably intelligent person. Being able to win a 1 vs. 1 game vs a random computer player should be easy, shouldn't it? That is why I have created more challenging versions, where the computer can drop two, three, or even fourDarth Vader pieces at a time. Since you possess the ability to reason, then you can defeat a computer opponent dropping multiple pieces at a time at random? Or can you????
