| Jul 7, 2017 at 1:11 | comment | added | J Atkin | I understand fully that Reversi is not the correct name of this game. However, many people (myself included) have not heard of Othello, and only know about Reversi, even if our understanding was incorrect. I plan to keep both names. I think I'll include the article you reference, but I won't remove Reversi. This is not because I dislike being correct, it is because I believe that it brings the tangible benefit of wider recognition and perhaps higher viewership of the post. I will have a strongly defined rules section so any concern about confusion about rules can be dismissed. | |
| Jul 5, 2017 at 17:22 | comment | added | Okx | @JAtkin But it is not called Reversi. I quote: Unfortunately, because the games look similar and have similar rules, and “Othello” is a trademark and “Reversi” is not, many board game sellers, websites, software makers, etc., wanted to piggy back on the popularity of Othello by calling their game “Reversi”. Quite aggravatingly, they never use the rules of real Reversi (as far as we've ever seen). I insist that you remove all instances of Reversi from your post. | |

| Jul 4, 2017 at 11:23 | comment | added | Okx | This is not Reversi. This is Othello. Source. In Reversi as it was originally played, the starting configuration was not predetermined, like it is in Othello. Players would take turns setting down the first four pieces in the center of the board | |

| Jun 29, 2017 at 6:50 | comment | added | VisualMelon | You will need a complete set of rules, and some high-level description of the controller (as well as a detailed spec when it's written), and you'll need to work out some victory criteria. | |
