What Is Reversi Rush?

Reversi Rush is a timed twist on the classic Othello/Reversi board game. Place black discs on an 8×8 board to outflank and flip your opponent's white discs. The catch? You only have 10 seconds per move. If the timer runs out, you forfeit your turn. Choose from three AI difficulty levels — Beginner, Intermediate, and Expert — and see how many discs you can dominate under pressure.

How It Works

Did you know? In competitive Othello, corner squares are worth roughly 10× more than center squares in positional value.

Frequently Asked Questions

How is Reversi Rush different from regular Othello?

Reversi Rush adds a 10-second timer per move. If you don't place a disc before time runs out, you forfeit your turn. This creates intense pressure and rewards quick strategic thinking over slow deliberation.

What happens when the timer runs out?

When the 10-second move timer expires, you automatically forfeit your turn and the AI gets to play. This can be devastating in key moments, so plan ahead and act quickly!

What is the best strategy for Reversi?

Focus on capturing corners first — they can never be flipped back. Avoid placing discs adjacent to empty corners, as this gives your opponent access. Control edges when possible, and in the early game, try to have fewer discs to limit your opponent's options.
