Oh, that move changed everything

Meta Prompt
The answer to this meta is the game we are playing
This puzzle was doing just fine but then Black took her move and .... this is the result.
The answer to the meta is what game we are playing.
ADDENDUM: I suppose I must point out, if you do not know this game.... well, you just won't get it. I've had only three incorrect submittals, which give the impression they just might not be familiar with the game. But if you figured out the gyst of the meta you may be able to google this game. It is not obscure.

    Cool!
    • woozy costruttore · 2024-03-21T15:00:26.444Z
      Thanks
    • MatthewL 🤓7:59 · 2024-03-20T16:36:19.493Z
      Tried Go first, and then Othello occurred. Fun puzzle.
      • woozy costruttore · 2024-03-21T15:00:37.591Z
        thanks
      • kieranjboyd 🤓4:45 · 2024-03-21T00:02:40.247Z
        What a power play! Some creative redefinitions in there. It was fun to figure out what was going on
        • woozy costruttore · 2024-03-21T15:03:17.837Z
          Thanks. What unintionally surprised me were how many of the new words were legit. I wanted it to be somewhat clear that the original W words made more sense.
        • benchen71 🤓5:10 · 2024-03-21T09:03:25.146Z
          That was delightful! The cluing shtick was genius.
          • woozy costruttore · 2024-03-21T14:58:51.488Z
            Thanks. My very first thought was I'd have the original clues but the new words (with B) but about 30 seconds it became apparent that if the solvers only had the original clues how would......
          • Capn Rick 8:49 · 2024-03-21T13:11:04.445Z
            Nice job, woozy! I also tried Go and a few others before Othello hit me.
            • woozy costruttore · 2024-03-21T15:00:19.371Z
              Thanks for playing. I had the concept and pretty much let Crosshare finish for me.
            • kurtalert 🤓5:40 · 2024-03-21T18:33:11.871Z
              Cool meta. I used to love this game growing up. Haven't played it in a long time!
              • Laura M 🤓9:10 · 2024-03-21T19:57:50.031Z
                Nice!
                • markhr 🤓15:56 · 2024-03-22T07:18:00.853Z
                  Not sure what the difference is between Go and Othello, but I finally worked it out. Nice job, Wooz.
                  • woozy costruttore · 2024-03-22T21:02:55.021Z
                    Utterly different games! Go is a game where you place tokens (that never change color) in an attempt to squeeze out the other. Othello (or Reversi) is where you place chips in a way as to flip the pieces between endpoints to your color. Go fairly organic and the your territory looks eventually like blobs. Othello each much is to find a straight line work with that.
                  • hoover 11s · 2024-03-22T12:46:44.878Z
                    Another name for this game is Reversi, just in case you're getting that in your inbox.
                    • woozy costruttore · 2024-03-22T20:58:16.692Z
                      Reversi and Othello were always both acceptable answers. Reversi's kind of interesting. Reversi was invented in 1883 and was popular for a while and then disappeared. The inventor of Othello in 1975 may or may not have been aware of Reversi but essentially it's the same game. The distinctive green board (it'd have been great if I could have made the blank spaces green!) and the starting position of chips on the board are unique to Othello. But what I find interesting is now you will see many electronic and online versions calling themselves "Reversi" probably because they are avoiding copyright (I guess)
                      • woozy costruttore · 2024-03-22T21:07:55.797Z
                        One person submitted UpWords. That deserves an honorable mention but I can't accept it. UpWords is a game similar to Scrabble but you are allowed to place tiles on top of tiles to change the letters in words. In some cases placing a B on a W did make a legit word but in more cases they did not. But ultimately the premise of the meta is Black just made a move an in a move only the tiles in a word are changed. You wouldn't play diagonally through a grid of words.

                        Google led me to Go and then Othello. Never played either, but why is there an alternate E/D at end of 37-A?
                        • woozy costruttore · 2024-03-23T01:19:16.383Z
                          I'm not sure I understand the question. The "Pointed weapon" was SWORD and the "tired of graham cracker chocolate, etc" was SBORD which, s'bord, was my play on S'Mores.
                          What did you google to lead you to GO? A lot of people seemed to have tried GO and ... I'm intrigued but don't understand.
                          • Abide 12:47 · 2024-03-23T23:25:56.891Z
                            My reveal grid showed alternate squares at D/E. So SWORD and SMORE. I Googled “black white game “.
                            • woozy costruttore · 2024-03-24T00:33:39.402Z
                              That's weird. Because it's not an alternate.
                              Wow. I thought there'd be a lot more black and white games.
