Description
Rolit can best be described as an Othello for 4 people and is a variation of the game Reversi. The game pieces are now strange four-sided coloured balls that remain in a grid with one colour side up. Anyone who encloses the opponent's balls turns them to their own colour. The player with the most present colour wins. Beautiful material and a great addition to Othello.
With Dutch manual.

Reversi is a board game for two people that was already known in the early 20th century. It has gained popularity again in the 1970s under the name Othello.
There is a board game by Goliath on the market that allows Reversi to be played by four people called Rolit. The stones are balls that can be placed on the board in four positions, with a specific colour on top. A player who makes a move can capture stones from his three opponents at the same time.
It is not useful to have many stones of your own colour early in the game, on the contrary, usually in the beginning and middle game it is better to have few stones. It is important to have a choice of many moves. The game is usually decided because a player only has bad moves at his disposal. Beginners often try to capture as many stones as possible in one move, and then discover in the next move that there is not much choice left. Therefore, it is better to have few stones or only stones in the centre of the scaffolding.
