Reversi, also known as Othello, is a classic board game with origins in the late 19th century. The rules of the game are simple, yet difficult to master, creating a thriving global community of skilled players. Dozens of Reversi events are hosted annually throughout the world, and the Reversi Online Tournament is the first major event of its kind to be hosted online.
"We invite all Reversi and Othello players to join this groundbreaking event," said Adeo Ressi, CEO of Game Trust.
