Is this just a cardboard game board with plastic token pieces? $32 seems steep for cardboard and plastic.

It is basically a board with pieces. However they use nice quality components. Sure you can buy a checkers set for 8 bucks but Yinsh is infinitely better than checkers. I have seen the game for lower prices than 32 by the way.

Is this this the newest reprint?

I'm not sure. The picture is of the last reprint, because looking on other sites I've seen it is currently in a square box. I have the last reprint which is pictured here.

Is this anything like Othello? It rather looks like it.

Not really. In Othello you try to sandwich lines of pieces to make them flip to your color, but in Yinsh you are trying to make a line of same color pieces to remove from the board. It's more like tic-tac-toe if you could replace x's/O's as you fill in a new square.
