 Great game! May 27, 2010
A. Muhammad (Pennsylvania)
We love this game. We had it before but it got lost in our move. So I was glad to purchase it again. It's so easy to learn and very addictive.
Lot`s of fun! March 27, 2010

This is very simple and fun game to play for couples. I just love the way the board is done. It is very elegant. The price was unbeatable.
Good game. March 20, 2010

Classic Othello. Simple to learn it is on par with the simple strategy games of yore like Checkers, Chinese Checkers and Go.
Feel free to throw this at any kids from the ages of 5 and up and watch as they learn how to assess a situation and be less reactive right in front of your eyes.
As with any plastic game it is a bit suspect able to being stepped on, but any game is these days.
A terrific game -- and not just for kids! February 15, 2010

Many reviews have talked about how great Othello is for kids -- and it is! But make no mistake, adults find this just as absorbing and challenging as chess.
For once, an advertising slogan is true: "A minute to learn. A lifetime to master."
Well, it might take as much as two or three minutes to learn, or to teach to someone. Then you're ready to go.
And don't let the phrase "A lifetime to master" discourage you. It means that you'll never outgrow this game -- you'll learn something new every time you play. It's ideal as a social game, lasting only ten or fifteen minutes (serious players may want to take more time).
I bought Othello in 1983 when it was made by Gabriel. Some reviewers have expressed reservations about the quality of Mattel's version. But remember, this can be played on any 8x8 board, and you can use your own containers for the pieces. So don't let that stop you from discovering this great game.
