The original game as invented by bored semi-drunk Scots was, I’m sure, a good laugh several hundred years ago with wee sticks and a random round thing.

The modern game and all its hideous capitalist/ classist cultural connotations is fucked.

The root of the word ‘real’ is effectively ‘royal’. In previous times a king or queen would be the one granting or withdrawing ownership of lands. It’s trickled down from that, basically.
