Pachisi
Pachisi, the national game of India, dates back to 4 AD and remains popular today. Each player has a set of pawns that start in his or her corner of the board. The goal is to move the pawns around the board to the "home" section. Movement is controlled by dice. All players move around the same board, so they may capture each others pawns. Captured pawns are returned to their player's corner and must start their journey over. The winner is the first player to move all pawns "home".

What the community says about Pachisi
Juego tradicional, clásico en todos los hogares. Se trata de avanzar fichitas tirando un dado. PAra lo que dura una partida, hay infinidad de juegos mejores, pero este goza de una popularidad inaudita entre los no jugones. En fin.
Un clasico que nunca defrauda
Polyana, Parchis, parkase. Sinceramente son lo mismo y no le encuentro mucho chiste al juego, sólo tirar un dado y mover, aburrido mil.
2-4 J. (4 mejor). Quizás el juego de mesa preferido de mi madre y de mi suegra. Todo un clásico. Dependiente de la suerte pero con una ligera capacidad de maniobrar.
Bueno para las tomadas con amigos y apuestas de 10 pesos
Un roll & Move, con un poco mas de alma que una oca. Yo le llamo "cariñosamente" la oca de cuatro fichas.
[b]Nota[/b] Incontables partidas en la niñez. Su puntuación lo dice todo. Una vez superado los 5 años, carece de interes. Superado.
Técnicamente la Oca es peor, pero en la oca haces rimas cabron, esto simplemente es puro dolor
