Pachisi - Ludo - Indian Ludo - Chausar - Indian Board Game (1 Piece)

Pachisi is a cross and circle board game that originated in medieval India and looks somewhat similar like western games like Ludo. Four players in opposing partnerships of two attempt to move pieces around a cross-shaped track. Moves are determined by throws of cowrie shells or dice. Each player has four pieces, which begin at the centre space, move down the middle track nearest the player, and counter clockwise around the outer track of the board. The game is also referred to as Chausar or Indian Ludo.
