Description

Pasakakrida is a race game that was described in the Manasollasa, a twelfth-century CE Sanskrit text from India. The game could be played with either four-sided or six-sided dice.

Rules

24 long rounded spaces, arranged in two rows of twelve, and each row split into two groups of six. Fifteen pieces per player, one with white pieces and the other with colored pieces. Two four-sided dice, with the values 2, 3, 4, 5. The pieces start in the following arrangement: White with two pieces on the top right space, five on the top left space, four on the third from the bottom left, and four in the sixth from the bottom right; Colored pieces are: four on the sixth space from the top right, four on the third space from the top left; five in the bottom left and two on the bottom right. Pieces are sent back to the beginning when another player's piece lands on an opponent's piece. A player's piece cannot land on a space that is occupied by more than one of the opponent's pieces. Pieces move according to the throws of the dice.

These rules were taken from the Two Four-Sided Dice ruleset.
