Lourche
Lourche or lurch was a French board game similar to backgammon that was played in the 16th or 17th century.[1] The rules of the game have been lost. The game is referred to in the English expression 'left in the lurch', parallel to the French demeurer lourche, referring to the hopeless losing position a player of the game could end up in.
