A simple yet functional implementation of the classic Reversi (Othello) board game using Windows Forms in C#.
Reversi is a strategy board game for two players, played on an 8×8 uncheckered board. The game pieces have two sides: black and white. Players take turns placing their discs, flipping the opponent's discs by trapping them between two of their own.
