Playing the game of Reversi
In the game of Reversi, two players alternately place a black piece and a white piece on the game board. If you place black pieces, your opponent places white pieces. Place your pieces to capture your opponent's pieces between yours. The color of the captured pieces changes to the same color as your pieces. The player with the most pieces wins the game.

Rules
The following is a brief explanation of the rules.
• When wireless communication is established and the game screen appears, Reversi automatically sets the color (black or white) of the pieces each player should use. You cannot change the color you use.
• In the beginning position, two black pieces and two white pieces are placed alternately in the center of the board. The player who has a black piece makes the first move. To place a piece, tap the square on which you want to place your piece with the stylus.
• Place your pieces to capture your opponent's pieces between yours. The color of the captured pieces changes to the color of your pieces. The player with the most pieces at the end of the game wins.
• You can capture your opponent's pieces between yours vertically, horizontally or diagonally.
• If you have no way to capture your opponent's pieces, you miss a turn. In this case, your opponent places a piece twice in succession.
• When both players have no pieces to place, the game ends. The player who has more pieces of his/her own color is the winner.
Writing in the memo pane
You can write a message freely in the Memo pane, and send it to your opponent while you are playing the game.
If one player writes a message or draws a picture in the Memo pane, they are displayed in the corresponding pane of the other player's CLIÉ handheld.
