Revert! based on the game that was invented in 1883 by Englishmen Lewis Waterman and John W. Mollett (each calling the other a fraud), and gained considerable popularity in England at the end of the 19th century.
The modern rule set used on the international tournament originated in Japan in the 1970s: game company Tsukuda Original registered the game under the trademark name Othello, as a reference to the Shakespearean play, referencing the conflict between the Moor Othello and Iago, who describes himself as "two faced" and more controversially, to the unfolding drama between black Othello, and white Desdemona. The green color of the board is inspired by the image of the general Othello, valiantly leading his battle in a green field. Interestingly, 2002 press release about the origins of the modern game makes no mention of the original version.
