About

Parlour (or parlor), from the French word parloir, from parler ("to speak"), denotes an "audience chamber". Thus, "parlor" appears to be used as a term denoting "a social space"; prefixes such as "pizza", "tattoo", "billiard", or "betting" describe the setting's other most notable aspect -- beyond socializing. The Parlor place that the game is refering to is a more like a recreation room, that is a room used for a variety of purposes, such as parties, games and other everyday or casual use. The term is common in the United States and Canada, but is less common in the United Kingdom where the preferred term is games room. Often children and teenagers will entertain their friends in the rec room, which is often located in the basement, away from the main living areas of the house. Usually it is a larger space than a living room to have the ability to serve multiple purposes and entertain moderately large groups.
