Othello-Reversi

Othello-Reversi is a board game for two where you place discs on an 8x8 grid and try to outflank your opponent. The platform description says every move can turn the game around, and that is the heart of the rules: when you trap a line of enemy discs between your new disc and another of yours, those discs flip to your colour.

The listing mentions smooth animations and an AI with variable strength, so there is a computer opponent that you can use for practice. The tags also mark it as a two-player game. The sources do not say if two people can share one device, so check the mode menu in the game to see what it offers.

The most important thing about Reversi is that the lead can change fast. A player with many discs early on is not always winning, because the corners and edges are the stable places that cannot be flipped easily. Beginners often grab as many discs as they can on each turn, and then find they have given the opponent good moves. Slow, careful play often wins.

If you want to compare versions, Reversi Multiplayer is on the site too.
