She might not have known the name, but as soon as Hera sees the light-dark squares of the game board, her eyes alight with recognition. Her gaze turns to the box as Thrawn opens it, and she puts her hands on the table so she can pull herself up a little, and lean over the box as she looks inside it.

Her eyes flicker up when Thrawn speaks, and she nods. She slips slightly back into her seat, and reaches carefully into the box, first selecting one of the white marble pieces, carved into the shape of a horse. She'd never seen a real horse - before she'd studied them as part of Terran history and biology, she'd only known them from art and films that had sometimes appeared in her old household.
