What's wrong with {mI' naghmey} from Monopoly: {cha' mI' naghmey} "two dice". (Dice can have any number of sides and many shapes.) Eg.
HoSHal ghajchugh vay', mI' naghmey tIronmoH. wa'maHlogh boq'egh
mI' naghmey; chen qav'ap. ghajwI'vaD qav'ap yIDIl.
If [energy source is] owned, throw dice and pay owner a total ten
times amount shown. MKE
pIraqSIS HoS waw' ghajlu'chugh, loSlogh boq'egh mI' naghmey mI';
chen qav'ap
If Praxis Energy Facility is owned, rent is 4 times amount shown
on dice. MKE

Why not {tlhInja Quj 'echlet}; cf. {Quj 'echlet} "game board" (MKE)? Why add {may'} "battle" to the mix?
BTW the straight sides of the board between corners would probably be called a {reD}. Eg.
loS reD mey' quadrilateral
vagh reD mey' pentagon
loS reD 'Impey' pyramid (four-sided base)
vagh reD 'Impey' pyramid (five-sided base)
And we might be able to use {tajvaj} "angle" to refer to the corners of the {'echlet} however may there are. (Cf. Russian *ugol* which is used both ways IIRC.)
P.S. I've lost some of the posts in this thread, but has anyone mentioned the verbs {nech} "be lateral, move laterally") and {Don} "be parallel, go parallel to" WRT moving pieces across an {'echlet}?
