Reversi passing, the end of the game and scoring
What happens in Reversi when you can’t move, how the game ends, and how the winner is decided by counting discs. How Reversi works · lesson 3 of 3.
The lesson in words
If you have no move that flips a disc, you pass and your opponent goes again. If you do have a move, you must play one.
The game ends when neither player can move, usually because the board is full. Then you count: most discs wins.
Pass when you must, count at the end. Next: a quick rules check.
