About

Chello is a 1991 board game by James Preston that fuses two beloved abstract strategy classics into a single hybrid. Described simply as a mix of checkers and Othello, it asks players to balance the directional capture rules of draughts with the flip-the-flank reversal mechanics that made Reversi a perennial favorite.ConceptThe game blends checkers movement with Othello's piece-flipping capture, producing a board that constantly shifts color as territories are won and lost.Era and StyleReleased for the early 68k Macintosh, Chello fits squarely into the System 6 and 7 era of black-and-white desktop board games delivered as compact shareware.CompatibilityRuns on System 6.x through System 7.6 on 68k Macintosh hardware and is compatible with the SheepShaver emulator for modern playback.DistributionPreserved on Macintosh Garden as part of the HolidayPack collection, packaged as Chello_1.1.sit.
