Candlemas, Imbolc, and the geese

[Michael Wyatt]

Hello folks-
When over in Spain, I thought about getting the "Juego de la Oca," but only
found children's boards (very silly design), so I kept postponing the
purchase.  Back here in the States, all my local gaming shops (big in
Seattle) claim to have never heard of this game nor can they find it in
their catalogues.  Sigh.  Does anyone know where and how to get a copy of
the Game of the Goose that does not involved going back to Spain, desirable
as that is?
Even more interesting to me: in Logrono, the Square outside the Iglesia de
Santiago is paved with a huge stone version of the Juego de la Oca, mixing
famous buildings and bridges of the Camino with the traps and details of the
game (death, maze, well, jail...).  Marvelous to walk along, rather
postmodern in making the secret connection the open reference.
Preston, thanks for the reference back to the Dagenais listserv; I am
getting more interested in this game.
