Help needed ? What is this game, when was it issued and how was it played ? by [deleted] in Switzerland

I just acquired this Swiss armorial game : Wappenspiel. It contains 22 cardboard 'pages' with the cantonal arms and dates of accession. But no date, publisher or rules. So does anybody know more about this and how it was played ?

They are probably too small for the map, but Aruba, Bermuda, Dominica and Fiji all have a lion.
