Parcheesi{™}

Parcheesi{™}
a US board game played with two dice and coloured plastic pieces which players move around squares on a special board according to the rules of the game, trying to get them to the centre square. Parcheesi was based on an Indian game, Pachisi, and the copyright was first registered in the US in 1867. It is similar to the British game, ludo.
