Hi,

The game in Dragon was called squareball or at least the
field was called a squareball field.  I cannot remember
what book the separate Teckla/Dragon games were in.

"The next day some of the company drew out a squareball field,
wrapped a bunch of rope around a rock to use as the ball, and 
played a good rousing game while the rest of us stood around
and yelled encouragement and obscenities.  The injuries 
weren't nearly as bad as a full-scale battle would have been
but were bad enough to get us yelled at by Crown and cursed
by the company physicker." 

Dragon,  paperback, Chapter 13, page 211
