It’s designed to be easy to print, satisfying to assemble, and fun to play.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat makes it special?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstead of a loose board and pieces, everything packs neatly into a book‑shaped case. Open the cover to reveal a clean, gridded playing surface and snug storage—and when you’re done, close it up and slide it onto your bookshelf like a book.\u003cbr\u003eFor extra security, I have made positions for standard \u003cstrong\u003e8×2 mm\u003c\/strong\u003e magnets to keep it closed.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eRules\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is a game I used to play at my grandparents so I was keen to make a version to play with my kids! The rules of Othello\/Reversi are simple, take turns playing pieces, flanking your opponent’s discs to flip them to your colour and aim to control the board by the final move. You can only play if you can make a piece flip. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCompact and elegant design\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBook‑style shell fits beautifully on a shelf\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMagnet‑latched cover (standard 8×2 mm magnets)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTwo‑part disc tray for all 64 pieces, with magnets to keep the tray shut\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eClean, minimal aesthetic that feels like a premium edition\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDesigned to print reliably on small printers (A1 Mini compatible)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAssembly instructions\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAttach the spine\u003c\/strong\u003e: Use superglue (CA) or similar to bond the spine to the flat edge of the book (the side without page indentations).\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGlue the ribs\u003c\/strong\u003e: Insert and glue the ribs into the slots on the spine.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInstall the magnets (book latch)\u003c\/strong\u003e:\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUse \u003cstrong\u003estandard 8×2 mm\u003c\/strong\u003e disc magnets.
