No, it is not obvious that the historical assertions concerning this game
are a joke, since the inventor(s) themselves have denied this very point. 
There is one post here from Gregory Topov dating writings about this game
to 1066.  As I recall, there are more similar claims, but they were posted
before this game had an official page, so they are old comments I do not
know how to get to.

And, by all means, don't do anything, if that is your inclination, but my
rating of 'poor' stands unless someone can make an intelligent argument
on the game's behalf.
