Marelles. [...] Connu par tous les peuples de l'Antiquité sous des formes diverses [...] On y joue au moyen de trois pièces pour chaque joueur, sur une petite table dressée à cet effet; pour gagner, il faut amener ses trois pièces sur une même ligne. [...] Le sort désigne celui qui, le premier, posera sa pièce sur l'un des points formés par l'intersection d'un certain nombre de lignes tracées dans un carré. [...] si l'on trace des carrés concentriques, trois, par exemple, on détermine vingt-quatre points de ce genre et l'on prend neuf pièces au lieu de trois. 1, record 1, French, - marelles
