Pachisi - Fair Trade

Pachisi is the National Game of India. Although many western imitations of the game exist such as Ludo from England and the American Parcheesi, nothing compares with the original. Pachisi and the older and more complicated Chaupur (which can also be played with this cloth version of the board game) are games of skill - suitable for both adults and children.

Masters Traditional Games are pleased to bring you a Fair Trade product of this ancient and fascinating game.

As this is a cloth version of the game, it is easily transportable and can be unfurled to play anywhere you wish. Although not a high quality item, it is a reasonably priced genuine Pachisi board made in India, where the game was invented.

Included are 16 wooden, coloured bell-shaped playing pieces and three oblong "long dice". Historical game connoisseurs might find the dice useful for other games, too. They are numbered 1, 3, 4& 6. Masters Traditional Games has also included a set of 6 Cowrie shells so that you can play the proper way.

Cloth is approx 78 x 78cm in the cross shape of the game. Note: In the photo shown, the blue cloth is just a background cloth. When folded, the cloth is only 17 x 17cm so will easily fit in a backpack or in a car pocket.

The game comes in a a marble print-effect storage box. This product contains small parts that represent a choking hazard for small children. Not suitable for children under 5 years old.
