Summary
Rules for Udat Pagada.
Description
Rules for Udat Pagada given by Anant Babaji Deodhar from 1905.
Rules
Played on a Chaupar board. Two players. Four pieces per player. Seven cowries, used as dice. The throws are as follows: one face up = 10; two faces up = 2; three faces up = 3; four faces up = 4; five faces up = 25; six faces up = 36; seven faces up = 14; all faces down = 7. Players start from opposite ends of the board. In this game, the divisions of the arms of the board are ignored; each arm is considered one space, and the spaces between the arms are also considered a space, making eight total spaces. Players sit opposite each other, and the point in front of them is the starting point for that player. Play proceeds in an anti-clockwise direction. When one player's piece lands on a space occupied by an opponent's piece, the opponent's piece is captured. A player wins by capturing all of the opponent's pieces.
