othello

back when mom & i had our yard sale - she got rid of a ton of the board games she's collected throughout the years....my sister & i claimed our favorites before they could b sold....kelly's being uncle wiggly & mine being othello (aka reversi)

the other night, i decided to pull it out & teach curtis how to play.....it's a pretty simple concept, but as he's learning, there's lots of strategy involved! ;0)


as a kid, i always had to b black.....so naturally, i still want to b black.....but so does curtis
(yeah, i totally played the race card on him too! ~lol~)

and i swear, that's my team color - if i have to b white, i don't do as well

so, for the first game - i took it easy on him & we didn't even count up at the end.....by the 2nd game, he had gotten the hang of it & i tightened up on him a little - just winning by a few chips.....the third game, i kicked his booty & he gave up! ~lol~

last night, we played again.....curtis insisted on being black too! grrrr!
the 1st game - i kicked his butt again - white chips & all!
the 2nd game, i started taking these pics & wasn't paying enough attention - we tied! ~lol~

here's a cool online version of the game if u're interested in trying it out :0)
