Flipstones

About the game

Flipstones is the classic strategy board game of reversi, played with glossy stones on a wooden table. Place a stone so that a line of your opponent's stones is trapped between it and another of yours, and the whole line flips to your color. Play against a computer opponent at easy, medium or hard level, and finish with the most stones to win.

How to play

1. You play the dark stones and always move first.
2. Tap a glowing spot: it must trap at least one straight line of light stones.
3. All trapped stones flip to your color, in every direction at once.
4. If a player has no legal move they pass. When nobody can move, most stones wins.

Controls

Tap or click a square.

Tips

• Corners can never be flipped back. They're the best squares on the board.
• Avoid the squares right next to an empty corner: they hand the corner to your opponent.
• Early on, having more choices matters more than having more stones.
