Well, hokay then.  I'd hate to be a "Parti-pooper" (the meaning of which I 
won't speculate on.)
I must say, Good Lady, I'm surprised no less-rusty heralds have offered 
corrections or clarifications of my answers--especially when I admitted the 
last was a guess.  I found a game called "The Royal Game of Goose" in a book 
of boardgames I have, but it's early-eighteenth century and has no little 
shield shapes, so it must be something else.  (This one is a race game using 
a pair of dice and one counter per player.)  Good luck with your project.
And now, oh Laird Diarmaid, I would challenge yer statement that getting 
elected isn't work, and cite the current mundane contest and the shenanigans 
of the two principals in witness.
And I'd hardly say them as WANT ta be called by the S-word in the Society 
didn't WORK to GET that right.  'S what comes AFTER as is sometimes something 
other...  Sorta the inverse of the case yer alludin' to.  (I used to pun the 
word surly as Sir-ly, until I found out that's where the word surly really 
comes from.  History repeats, history repeats.)
Kevin, nobody-in-particular.
