Othello was invented by Japanese game enthusiast Goro Hasegawa
in 1971. It was introduced to the rest of the world in 1976 but
took off in 1977 with the first World Othello Championship.
It has a felt green board reminiscent of a casino and 32 counters
for each player (black on one side, white on the other).The aim
is to flip all the counters over to your colour�or something along
those lines!
