The Royal Race Game of India

The world's favourite race game, descended from Pachisi — the "royal game of India" that Emperor Akbar played on life-size courtyards with dancers as pieces. Roll a 6 to bring your tokens out, race them clockwise around the track, capture lone enemies, and bring all four tokens home. Dice fortune meets real strategy.

How to play

• Roll a 6 to move a token out of your yard — every 6 grants an extra roll
• Race your tokens clockwise around the 52-square track
• Land on a lone enemy token to send it back to its yard
• Starred squares are safe; stacks of two or more cannot be captured
• Bring all 4 tokens home (exact rolls) before your opponents
