Pachisi is an ancient Indian board game played on a cross-shaped board with four tracks, where players move their pieces around the board based on dice rolls. Typically played by four players, each controls four pieces, and the goal is to move all pieces around the board and reach the center before the other players. Players roll dice to determine their moves, and can block opponents or send their pieces back to the starting area. The game is a mix of strategy and chance, with players trying to outmaneuver each other while racing to the center.
