# Play with mouse or keyboard

Reversi allows you to easily play with a mouse or with the keyboard.

# How to play with a mouse

To make a move:

Move the cursor on the tile you would like to place your piece in. The tile is highlighted if it is playable.

Click on the tile to drop the piece.

If you select a tile where you cannot move, the game notifies you that the move is impossible.

To show possible moves, select a tile where there is already a piece, whatever its color is. Alternatively, you might want to highlight playable tiles.

You can always undo your move. For that, press the button with an arrow and a circle in the top-right corner (or in the bottom bar on small windows) and select Undo last move.

You can also use the keyboard.

# How to play with the keyboard

To make a move:

Use the Left, Right, Up and Down arrows to go at the tile you want to move. The currently selected tile is indicated by an highlight on the board.

Use the Space or the Return key to drop a piece on the selected tile.

If you select a tile where you cannot move, the game notifies you that the move is impossible.

To show possible moves, select a tile where there is already a piece, whatever its color is. Alternatively, you might want to highlight playable tiles.

You can always undo your move. For that, use Ctrl Z.

More shortcuts are available, documented either on the Keyboard shortcuts page, or in the dialog that appears on Ctrl F1.

You can also use a mouse.
