Parcheesi is a brand-name American adaptation of the Indian cross and circle board game Pachisi, published by E. G. Selchow & Co
- The order of players' turns moves to the next player on the current player's left.
- If a player cannot use both dice, the player must use one of the dice, if possible. If either can be used, the player must use the larger die.
- All die moves must be taken before the application of any extra rewards for sending an opponent to their nest or moving a piece to its home position. Another player may break the blockade with the roll of a double one. Another player's piece cannot land in a space occupied by a blockade, even to leave its nest.
Games magazine included Parcheesi in their "Top 100 Games of 1981", describing it as "one of the easiest board games to learn and is perfectly suited for family play".
