OBJECT OF THE GAME
You and your computer opponent will take turns placing a
chip in various squares on the LCD screen. Each time you
place a chip, you will "capture" 1 or more of the computer’s
chips. The computer will also be capturing your chips.
When the grid is completely full, the player with the most
chips on the grid wins. Touch-screen Othello® can also be
played against a human opponent, by choosing the 2-player
game.

PLACE A CHIP
During a game, use the stylus to place a chip. Each player

You will see a Black chip appear in the top-left corner of the
grid.
If you have the black chip, use the Stylus to move your chip
to a position in which you can capture a White chip
between two of your Black chips.
After capturing a White chip, it will turn into a Black chip.
If the computer has the Black chips it will start first and cap-
ture one of your chips. Next, it will be your turn to try to
capture one or more of the computer’s Black chips.
Continue taking turns capturing chips until the entire board is
full or until one player has no chips remaining. You can also
capture multiple chips at the same time.
The winner is the player with the most chips on the board at
the end of the game.
The game is a draw when each player has the same amount
of chips at the end of the game.
