Karen - Othello starts with 4 cards in the center in a checked pattern

white - black
black - white

White starts play.

Students then lay down one card sandwiching one or more of the opponents' cards with theirs. They then capture those cards and can flip them over to their color.

Play continues like this until all the spots are taken or one player can no longer capture any cards.

At the end the cards are counted and the person controling the majority of the board wins.

I hope that makes sense.
