I found this

Thank you Geting, you've done well . . Sometimes I feel a bit redfaced if the answer is obvious, but not this time . . I will blame a sheltered childhood

You're welcome

I also had a sheltered childhood: it was AI pointed me in the right direction

I remember watching a film, in the 80's I think, where a group of teenagers were in an outdoor pool and one would say "Marco" and then another reply "Polo".

I didn't get it then and I don't now, and if what I saw was a true and fair representation of it, then it's hard to think of any game less exciting.

By the way, that iis definitely not a request for it to be explained to me - I have a feeling that would be as awful as actually playing it!
