cool. i've been interesed in this game as it seems like it will be pretty smooth by its release.

tabula can mean "gaming board" so that's pretty reasonable. but i can't figure out what rasa means. not even close. the only similar word i've found so far is casa which means home or house.

any ideas?

"rasa" isn't a latin word. I've learnt Latin for 7 years and have never heard it.

yeah, i'm trying to figure out what it could even be close to. many germanic and slavic languages have a word similar to rasa which basically means race.

so...maybe the translation is something similar to race of board gamers.

Kalazor · August 08, 2004, 11:18 AM

or Board of Races? Maybe...

could be. but the fact that a translation is gaming board is too much for me to ignore. :? it's too convenient.
