MG acronym

In Response To: Terms for "money" (Timothy Chow)

As there seems to be a certain attachment to the term "money" or "money game," I propose, rather than change it, to add to the dimension of it.

The acronym "MG" can stand for both "money game" and whatever substitute is deemed acceptable to those who prefer to avoid the word money.

Here are a few possibilities:

Mutual gammon
Mirror gammon
Measureless game
Mechanical game
Mental game
Methodical game
Model game
Mortal game
Muggle game (to see if Stick is listening)

Any preference from above? Any others? You want a term that can reasonably apply to both a non-match money game (typically but not necessarily played for stakes) and to a match score situation often referred to as money (with correct checker plays resembling that of a non-match money game).
