It’s good to have an actual name for the game now. I had been (intentionally overliterally) referring to it as {wa'law'} as a joke. It’s understandable why they wouldn’t use that as the name on the box, for brand recognition, but they could have still used it as a smaller secondary title and/or in the instructions.
