Of these only glic is unknown to me, thanks for the rules reference.
However the website mentions a game I assume refers to the gameboard
with the round inlay, dartboard type. It is named Tourniquet, which
could be Turnstile in english?
From what I see in the pictures it could be an early form of roulette?
There are diffent numbers, blanc et noir instead of rouge et noir, the
green parts could refer to impair?
The inner part could be rotatable or the middle hole could hold a
rotating arrow??

I would be very interested to aquire a copy of this paper.
Thanks a lot for the very useful information so far.
