# Reversi Game
A simple yet functional implementation of the classic **Reversi (Othello)** board game using **Windows Forms** in **C#**.
## 🕹️ About the Game
Reversi is a strategy board game for two players, played on an 8×8 uncheckered board. The game pieces have two sides: black and white. Players take turns placing their discs, flipping the opponent's discs by trapping them between two of their own.
## 🎮 Game Modes
- 👥 **Human vs Human** – Play locally with a friend.
- 🤖 **Human vs Computer** – Challenge a basic AI opponent.
