I did find this one calling the game "<a HREF="http://www.jwstelly.org/BolesAndCreots.html" rel="nofollow">Boles and Creots</A>". At least a <a HREF="http://www.thefreedictionary.com/boles" rel="nofollow">Bole</A> is something. Perhaps is was originally called Boles and Cleots (or Creots) from the Norse and it just got corrupted as time went on. Like to know what a Cleot is, though.

I also never knew what a "creot" was but now suspect it may have just been a nonsensical word used by some feminist to disguise the gender concept in the name with male/female counterparts. Although, a small group of us jokingly called it "bulls & croutons" because at least you can find "crouton" in the dictionary. I think it goes without saying that the board game known as MASTERMIND which uses colored pegs instead of numbers (and black/white pegs to convey the hit/miss/fail of a guess) is essentially the same thing. FWIW, Wikipedia lists the following as alternate names for Bulls & Cows: Bulls & Pigs; Bulls & Cleots (still with no explanation as to what a Cleot might be).
