[Membroj] Board games with Esperanto names

I'm now updating my gameography of my games collection for the first 
time in 14 years. I am thus reminded of one, maybe two board games 
with Esperanto titles:

(1)


Batalo ["A delicate balance of power"] by Scott Harmon. Boulder, CO: 
Harmony Games. Inc., 1991.

Batalo by Scott Harmon. 2nd ed. Boulder, CO: Harmony Games, Inc., 
1993. [gift of author with letter thanking me for input on slight rules change]

(2)

Vagabondo. Leicester, UK: Invicta Games, 1979. #3191

I can't be certain that this name comes from Esperanto, but it's an 
Esperanto word.  The game rules are published in a variety of 
languages, including Arabic, but not in Esperanto, nor is there any 
mention of Esperanto.

Many many years ago I got paid for translating the rules of a couple 
board games into Esperanto. I don't know what good they'd do without 
the games themselves, but presumably I could look up these files and 
put the rules on my web site.

I also published an article, now outdated, on board games in Esperantujo:
