How to Play Pacheesi
Pacheesi is a traditional Indian board game, involves a race to move pieces around a cross-shaped board. Each player starts with four pieces, starting from the centre. (belly) players take turns rolling a pair of rectangular dice to determine the number of moves. Pieces move counterclockwise around the board's perimeter, and the objective is to navigate all pieces back to the starting position. If a player's piece lands on an opponent's, the opponent's piece is sent back to the centre.
The first player to move all their pieces around the board and back to the centre wins the game.
