Edit: I just learned that Crisis Mountain is by the same person as Dino Eggs, one of my all-time favorite games. I will have to try it out.

Mikuversi is actually disqualified because the game uses Othello rules which, contradictory to what the name would imply, involve a different opening setup, as established by Mattel’s rebranding of Reversi as Othello, as well as some other important judicial differences.
- In Reversi as it was originally played, the starting configuration was not predetermined, like it is in Othello. Players would take turns setting down the first four pieces in the center of the board. Because of this, either player could force the “parallel” starting configuration (White White Black Black), rather than the predetermined Othello starting configuration (White Black Black White).
- In Reversi as it was originally played, the game was over as soon as either player could not make a move. In Othello, the player without a move simply passes, and the other player makes as many moves as needed before the first player can make a move again. The game is only over once neither player can make a move.
Reversi and Othello are not the same game. In conclusion, the misleading title “Mikuversi” is non-enticing and arguably repulsive.
