How To Play Reversi

Reversi- how to play- start with 2 green and 2 red pieces on the tape game board- kids activities blog
Start with 2 red pieces and 2 green pieces in the middle of the board.

Learning to play Reversi is easy! Here is how to play:

  1. At the start of the game you place 4 pieces in the middle of the board. You will place 2 red and 2 green. After, usually the darker color goes first. You can flip a coin or roll a dice if you’d like so kids can take turns.
  2. Then you will put your piece on the board next to your opponents.
  3. You will want to flank their piece. That means you will want 1 of your piece on the left and right of their piece. Then you flip the piece over to your color. That means you captured it.
  4. You will keep taking turns to capture each other’s pieces until the board is full or until no one can take another turn.
  5. The person with the most pieces win!

How To Modify This Reversi Game For Younger Children

If you have younger children that are having a harder time grasping the rules, change up the game. They can play it more like connect 4 and have them try to get 4 in a row.

Our Experience With This Super Fun DIY Reversi Game

Family game night was so awesome! We all had a blast playing Reversi on a giant board. We had drinks and popcorn and played it in turns. Once someone won the next person challenged the winner and we went from there.

We did modify it for my younger children who struggled with the rules. But overall, we all had a blast. It was simple, fun, and just a great way to spend time with the family.

I hope your family has as much fun as mine did with this Reversi game.
