Game-Reversi Reversi: two players, an 8x8 board, and discs that turn when outflanked. This is Reversi rather than Othello, and the difference is the opening. Othello starts with four discs already on the centre diagonals. Reversi starts empty and the players place those four discs themselves, which produces six distinct positions rather than one. That opening is the default here, and it is why the distribution can carry this name: "Othello" is a registered trademark, Reversi is the free ancestor.
