In board games, the French case likely comes from the Spanish / Italian / Portuguese casa (house) and was probably first used in that context for chess, jeu de l'oie or toute-table/trictrac/backgammon. In the latter case, the cases are triangles and an early French jeu de l'oie used egg shaped cases. | |
