History

This game is centuries old, Captain James Cook used to play it with his fellow officers on his long voyages, and so it has also been called "Captain's Mistress". Milton Bradley (now owned by Hasbro) published a version of this game called "Connect Four" in 1974.

Other names for this this game are "Four-in-a-Row" and "Plot Four".

Watch out for double jumps!

Practice here, then obliterate your friends!

Drag and Drop. For a double jump, drag and drop twice. Blue goes first. Also called Draughts.

Note about multiple jumps: it is a basic rule in checkers that if you can jump (capture) then you must. If after that jump your piece can do another jump then it must (called a "double jump"), and if it can do another it must ("triple jump"), and so on!

Also called "Othello", this game has millions of people addicted. We also have several different versions!

Other versions: Reversi Wide , Reversi Small and Reversi Tiny

Instructions

Place your piece on an empty square so that one (or more) of the opponent's pieces are between yours.

Here Red is about to capture a Blue piece ...

... and it is now captured, becoming Red.

You must capture ... they are the only valid moves. If you can't capture, then you lose a turn.

You win by having more of your pieces than the opponents at the end of the game.

Strategy

There is lots of interesting strategy in this game! Sometimes you seem to be winning then suddenly lose at the end.

I don't want to tell you too much ... it is more fun to discover new things yourself.

Keep trying and you may one day beat the computer!
