Key Aspects of the Othello Board:

Grid: The board consists of an 8 × 8 8 cross 8 8 × 8 grid of 64 total squares. Starting Position: The game begins with four discs placed in the center squares: two black and two white, arranged diagonally. Discs: 64 reversible discs, usually black on one side and white on the other. Gameplay: Players take turns placing a disc with their color facing up. A move must trap one or more opponent discs in a straight line (horizontal, vertical, or diagonal) between the new disc and another disc of the same color. Winning: When no more moves can be made, the player with the most discs of their color on the board wins.
