Setup

Each player chooses a color and places their 4 tokens in their home base (starting circle). Place the dice nearby. Players sit around the board.

How to Play

  1. Players take turns rolling the dice.
  2. You must roll a 6 to move a token from home onto the starting square.
  3. On a 6, you get an extra turn.
  4. Move your token forward the number rolled along the colored path.
  5. If you land on an opponent's token, you send it back to its home base.
  6. Safe squares (colored circles) protect your token.

Winning the Game

The first player to get all 4 tokens into the center finishing square wins.

Variants & House Rules

Pachisi (the original Indian version). Power-up variant where landing on your own token forms a block.
