Reversi, also known as Othello is a well known classic strategy board game that's played throughout the world; and now it can be played throughout the grid too! The goal of the game is to end with the most tiles being occupied with the color you're playing by placing and taking over your opponents pieces.
To place a piece you must set yours down next to a tile where the opposite color currently exists, and where a straight line (horizontal, vertical, or diagonal) to one of your discs is through your opponents discs.
For more information about game rules, check out http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reversi#Rules as it's explained much easier with images, than text; or try playing the game with "new player" enabled!
The game itself is very low lag, intelligently created and scripted to use very little resources, while still being visually appealing with wonderfully animated pieces and to be as much fun as possible! The board itself is mod, so you can resize it to be as large (or small) as you'd like, and should function properly so long as all the pieces are a part of it, and the correct prim is root.
Contains two models, a 9 PE 'mesh version', and a 19 prim 'prim version', both contain just a single script each.
Included is a "New Player" mode, that can help out new players, by showing them all of the possible moves that they are able to make

Best Reversi game in a 3D world
Compared to many other Second Life renditions of real world board games this is a top-notch quality product worth much more than the price it's sold at. It runs as intended, and presents itself with fluid animated graphics.
As previous reviews stated this board is not "3D". HOWEVER, the value is in the actual functionality and ease of use. SAY WHAAAAAAAAT?
Game Is Not 3D (3 Dimensional)
One of the photos shows this game being 3D (3 dimensional), however it is not. The game board and pieces are always flat; When the pieces turn it's actually a flat GIF image that animates (never raising off the board as it turns). Also in one of the photos it shows the black lines separating the pieces being 3D as well; however they are not [The lines are flat lines].
