How to play Chausar
Chausar is a traditional Indian board game that is played by two to four players. The game is played on a board with a cross shape and each player has four pieces that start on the corners of the board.
-
Setting up the game: Each player chooses a color and takes the corresponding pieces. The board is placed on a flat surface and the pieces are placed on the corners of the board.
-
Objective: The objective of the game is to move all of your pieces from the starting corner to the opposite corner of the board. The first player to move all of their pieces to the opposite corner wins the game.
-
Movement: Players take turns moving one piece at a time. Pieces can only move to adjacent spots on the board. Pieces can move in any direction, but cannot move diagonally.
-
Capturing: If a player lands on a spot where their opponent's piece is, they can capture that piece and remove it from the board. The captured piece can be placed back in the starting corner, and must be moved back to the opposite corner before the player can win the game.
-
Winning: The first player to move all of their pieces to the opposite corner of the board wins the game.
-
Variations: Chausar can be played with different rules, such as allowing pieces to move diagonally or allowing players to move multiple pieces at a time.
