Battle for home

Vintage board game on a chessboard.

This game is a simplified version of the ancient popular game "Ludo" or "Pachisi" for two, three or four players.

On the board, each player occupies a corner.The game chip begins its path from the corner and must make a circle around the edge of the board and enter the house.The house runs diagonally from the corner to the center of the board.

The goal of the game is to get 4 chips into the house faster than your opponents.

At the beginning of the game, each player has one chips at the start and 3 others at the base outside the game board.

The players take turns rolling the die. A game chips makes a move if there are no other chips on its way, it cannot jump over chips. If a piece's move ends in a cell occupied by an opponent's piece, then it is considered captured and returns to the base.

A throw of 6 or 1 gives the game chip the right to leave base to start the path.

An additional move is given with a throw of 6 and after capturing the opponent's piece.
