Parchis

Parchís is a board game similar to Ludo, Parques and Parcheesi. It is a Spanish adaptation of the Indian game Pachisi.

Rules

This game is played with 1 die and 4 pawns. 5 is useful to leave the jail and the 6 serves to gain an extra turn.

Blockades can also be made with 2 pawns, but only in safe squares. Aside from blocking other pawns, if there is a blockade in the home square, the player in the nest will not be able to leave while the blockade exists. The blockades are destroyed when a 6 is tossed or when some of the pawns which composes the blockade is moved.

When the player has 4 pawns in the game (outside the nest), whenever he gets a 6, he can move 7 squares.

When eating a pawn, 20 points are gained in order to be moved by a pawn.
