Did you know?

Imagine playing a game of chaupar on a grand scale, on a board made of inlaid marble with red and white squares. Indian Emperor Akbar I from the Mogul Empire in the 16th century did just that, using palaces in Allahabad and Agra as his giant game boards. He would sit in the center and toss shells to determine the moves, while 16 women from his harem served as the pawns, moving at his command. 

About Pagade

Pagade, also known as "Pachisi" or "Parcheesi", is a popular board game in India that has a rich history dating back to ancient times. The game is mentioned in the famous Hindu epic, the Mahabharata, and is believed to have been played by Indian royalty.

The game is played on a square board with a cross-shaped layout, and each player has four pawns that they must move around the board. The objective is to move all four pawns from the starting position to the finish line, while also trying to block the pawns of other players.

Pagade is a game that requires both luck and strategic thinking, as well as quick thinking and clever tactics to out-maneuver opponents. It can be played by individuals or teams of two, and is a great choice for those looking for a thrilling and challenging game to play with friends and family.
