How Reversi Works

• Connect your wallet and click Create Game to start a new match. Use the slider to set a wager between 0.25 – 10 XNT (default 1 XNT). The wager is sent to the game contract.
• A second player joins by clicking Join from the lobby, matching the same wager. The total pot is double the wager.
• Players take turns placing one disc of their colour on the 8x8 board. A move is legal only if it traps at least one opposing disc in a straight line (horizontal, vertical, or diagonal). All trapped discs flip to your colour.
• If you have no legal move, your turn is skipped automatically. The game ends when neither player can move — the player with the most discs wins.
• The winner receives the full pot minus a small 2% fee. On a draw both players are refunded minus the fee.
• If a game is abandoned or interrupted, funds can be reclaimed after 5 minutes via the Reclaim Funds button. A reduced 0.5% fee is applied to timeout reclaims.
• If a player quits or disconnects during a game, a 50% penalty is deducted from their refund and burned (permanently removed from circulation).

All transactions happen on the X1 blockchain. Make sure your wallet has enough XNT for the wager and transaction fees.
