User Submitted Othello Reviews (cont...)Date: 2008-06-01 Great Game. Mattel GOT CHEAP This game is a great educational game. Also alot of fun. Given the price what should have i expected regarding quality. The material is cheap plastic, cheap felt, and NO rollover cover to hold the pieces in their slots. It's also hard to place a piece down on the board or into the side slot. It's like they asked some chinese company to design the SMALLEST amount of plastic in use to make this game as cheaply as possible. I don't expect this to last for years to come! Either way if you want Othello, I highly recommend you search for the more durable but also more expensive version. Date: 2008-03-27 Complicated Simplicity! Lately we have been on a very competitive 2 player strategy game kick... and I purchased this game as an alternative to Scrabble and Boggle (my favorite 2 player word games, which I usually win!). I found Othello easy to learn, but man is it hard to master! I still haven't won yet, though not for want of trying! The difficutly of each game will depend on the strategic skill of your opponent, and there definitely are some good (and bad) strategies to use. Even so, this would be a game two children (or an adult and a child) could enjoy playing due to its simplistic rules. For me, it's been a good lesson on how to lose gracefully. :) Date: 2008-03-24 Great Classic Game I remember playing this game when I was a kid. Even though I always wanted to own it I never got around to buying it until recently. Recently this game poped into my mind, and I knew that I had to try to find it, since I remember it being a ton of fun when I was a child. In the 21st century there is a lot of electronic games and party games available to buy. The classic's seem to be hard to find now days so when I find one of the classic games that I remember playing as a kid I usually buy it. I remember doing some christmas shopping this past holiday season and I remember seeing othello in the store. When I went back to the same store looking for othello it was no longer there. I put it out of my mind until recently when I was thinking about all of the fun classic games I remembered growing up. When you look at this game you don't think that it would be fun, however it is very fun and also can be very challenging. As many others have said this is one of those games that is easy to learn but hard to master. One of the great things about this game is that it is never the same game twice. This is one of my favorite games along with Monopoly/Yahtzee, and I'm so happy to finally add it to my collection of classic games. Date: 2008-03-23 Review of Othello It is a great game for two people. We travel in an RV, so this game is great for passing time. It is a challenging game and no two games are ever the same. Once you get familiar with it, you can see that a lot of strategy is involved. It is a game for all ages. The game board is well made and should last for many years if taken care of. Date: 2008-01-15 lovethisgame my 7 yr old son loves this game. I am glad I bought it. we lost 2 of the double-sided discs already and my husband had to make them out of cardboard. wish they put extra pieces
