What is the name of the game?
You have black and white discs. Each person takes a turn at place their disc on the board. If your color surrounds the discs of the other players, you turn them over to your color. You play until the board is covered and the person with the most discs of their color wins.
Thanks is advance.

Reversi (also marketed by Pressman under the trade name Othello) is a board game involving abstract strategy and played by two players on a board with 8 rows and 8 columns and a set of distinct pieces for each side. Pieces typically are disks with a light and a dark face, each side belonging to one player. The player's goal is to have a majority of their colored pieces showing at the end of the game, turning over as many of their opponent's pieces as possible.

This is Reversi as the other person said, and has also been mass produced as Othello.
The differences between Reversi and Othello have to do with how you set up the board(if it's the same set up every time, or if you can place tiles in any format) and possibly a few other differences that I'm not sure of. I do know that there is a difference between Reversi and Othello and that some people who love Reversi will defend to their deaths the differences between the two games.

Everyone before me has said Reversi, and that is correct. I'll answer for the 2 points.
