Play The Othello on PC or Mac

Join millions to experience The Othello, an exciting Board game from UNBALANCE Corporation. With BlueStacks App Player, you are always a step ahead of your opponent, ready to outplay them with faster gameplay and better control with the mouse and keyboard on your PC or Mac.

The Othello keeps the classic flip-the-line board game feel and makes it fast to jump into a match. Pieces snap down clean, rows flip in a chain, and it rewards patient, corner-hunting play without dragging on forever. It is the kind of game where a quiet midgame suddenly turns into a huge swing because one move opens a line across half the board. On PC with BlueStacks, simple mouse clicks make turns quick and tidy, which suits a game that is all about precision.

There are a lot of ways to play here. The computer has 30 difficulty steps, so beginners can learn patterns while experienced players keep pushing up until it actually fights back. A hint button helps when someone stalls out, and there is a handicap option that starts with 1 to 4 black stones for a gentler matchup. Local head to head is supported on the same screen for pass-and-play. Beating the AI under certain conditions unlocks new board and stone styles, which adds a nice carrot without changing the rules. Matches can be saved and loaded, and game records can be shared by email for those who like to review lines later. It is straightforward, quick to set up, and the rhythm of Othello strategy is very much intact.

Ready to top the leaderboard? We bet you do. Let precise controls and sharp visuals optimized on BlueStacks lead you to victory.
