Hey Steemians! 👋

Ever wanted to challenge a friend to a classic board game — but with a blockchain twist? Meet Reversteem, my latest project that brings the timeless strategy game of Reversi (also known as Othello) straight onto the Steem blockchain! ⚫⚪

What is Reversteem?

Reversi is a classic two-player strategy game played on an 8×8 board. You place discs, flip your opponent's pieces, and whoever has the most discs at the end wins. Simple to learn, endlessly deep to master.

But here's the twist — in Reversteem, every move you make is recorded on the Steem blockchain as a comment. No servers. No databases. No middleman. Just you, your opponent, and an immutable on-chain record of every flip. 😎

Why On-Chain?

Forget centralized game servers that can go offline, cheat, or manipulate outcomes. With Reversteem:

✅ Your moves are permanent — written forever on the blockchain
✅ No one can forge a result — game state is replayed deterministically by every client
✅ No account registration needed to watch — anyone can spectate, no login required
✅ Play at your own pace — time controls from Blitz (1 min/move) to Daily (24 hrs/move)

Cool Features

🏆 ELO Rating System — win games, climb the leaderboard, and prove your worth!

🔒 Private Invites — challenge a specific friend by name, no randos allowed

⏰ Timeout Claims — if your opponent ghosts you, claim the win after the time limit expires

💬 Spectator Chat — watch live games and cheer (or trash-talk!) in the comments
