Verso

IBM’s adaptation of the perennial board game known as Othello/Reversi, in which two players exchange turns placing chips on the game board, attempting to enclose consecutive chains of the opponent’s pieces between two chips of their own. A straight or diagonal line of chips thus trapped will switch sides to the capturing player’s color; when all possible moves are exhausted, the player with the most pieces on board wins. Verso may be played against a fellow human contender or versus the CPU.
