Unfortunately I can't recommend this game (which I see has been withdrawn at the request of the developer / publisher, but I suppose my comments might still bring some benefit if the original developer or another is inclined to have another crack at it). The good: -The AI plays a very strong game. Because of the way the game works, the number of counters of your colour bears little relationship to the end position until just a few moves before. -The graphics are very passable. The bad: There are some things which in my view are essential to a serious game of this kind and I think would have been easy to implement but haven't been. 1) The ability to save the game. How hard would it have been to save a few bytes to the drive? Preferably unlimited named saves but even a "Resume previous game" would have been welcome 2) An "undo" function. It would have really helped my game to be able to see where I might have made a better move. In my view these are the very minimum features necessary for a paid implementation of Othello. But I can think of another couple of facilities that would be very nice to have, and don't seem to me likely to be very complicated... 3) The ability to save the sequence of moves in a game (as in chess notation) both as text, and as a file to be loaded and analysed move by move 4) The ability to set up a position on the board and play from there. I'm surprised more reviewers haven't commented on the lack of these features. Perhaps I'm just too picky.

I have Linux Mint and unfortunately the AI is broken. I paid for this and I expect the computer to work. If your getting this to play with a friend locally then it should be fine but if your playing single player on linux then the AI may not work.
对我来说每一局棋就是一个思维上的冒险,为了达到这个冒险的胜利我们需要不断的学习与思考。 这是一款制作非常棒的黑白棋软件,值得大家尝试一下。
A classic board game with working versus AI, local, and online multiplayer. I've had good fun playing friends online across the country aside from the occasional crash. UI is really ugly and is only servicable. Get it when it's on sale and make sure its a 2-pack so you can actually play with someone since online is dead.

Great game, still haven't got through the harder levels but a decent timewaster if you want to use your brain rather than just blasting away in a shoot em up.
Othello is a adversarial strategy board game; although it's very different to Checkers, in some ways it's similar (at the least, that comparison should give people an idea of what genre of game it is). It is not as complicated as Chess, but it can be very hard to win against a good opponent - as the line on the original box says, "A minute to learn ... A lifetime to master". I used to play Othello as an actual board game (years ago); and then played an earlier computer version, which was called "Iago" (the latter was presumably named after Iago, a character in Shakespeare's play "Othello"). This computer version of Othello is quite good. There are several settings available to play against the AI: Beginner, Easy, Medium, Hard, Harder, and Hardest. However, I've found that it crashes a lot - especially when it looks like I'm going to beat the AI on the "Harder" setting ("Yay, I'm going to win this time ... I'm going to beat it ... this is going well ... aw, geez, it's crashed again!"), which can be really annoying. The game also has multiplayer options, so you can either set your brain against the AI or versus some human players (provided that you can find an opponent online at the same time as yourself - which may be easier said than done; although you always have the option of arranging some matches against a friend). Despite the too-often crashes, I still quite enjoy the game. For anyone who enjoys Checkers, Chess, or similar games, Othello is worthwhile taking a look at.
