Sugoroku is a race game that was played in Japan from the eighth century CE. Early boards are similar to boards for Chinese Shuanglu, and the games are probably related. By the nineteenth century, the game had largely become unpopular, and the rules for it are largely unreported, except for being similar to Backgammon.
Rules
2x12 board, divided in the center. Two six-sided dice. Fifteen pieces per player.
