MacIago is a strategic computer game based on the Othello/Reversi board
game and inspired on the 1984 mac game "Iago" made by David Reed (hence
the similar name).

MacIago 3 requires Mac OS X to run, if you want to play on Mac OS 9 or
lower then you can use MacIago 2.5. This game is freeware.

How to play

The game is played with a board on which you have to enclose the
opponent pieces between your own. All the enclosed pieces will be
converted to your own in the eight possible directions. Each move must
result in at least one conversion. When such move is not possible the
turn is forfeited. The game ends when none of the players is able to
make a move. The player with the most pieces at the end of the game
wins.

Features

- Version 3 has been completely rewritten for Mac OS X using the Cocoa
frameworks. Compared to the previous version it has improved graphics,
better artificial intelligence, a revamped user interface, and the
ability to show available moves.
- Version 3.5 introduces appearance plugins, a smarter and faster
artificial intelligence and a resizable window.
