This black-and-white illustration depicts a traditional Pachisi board, characterized by its distinctive cross shape with four large circular home bases at each corner and a grid-based path connecting them. Players move tokens based on dice or cowrie shell throws, aiming to traverse the circuit and return all pieces to their respective homes. The game, dating back over 2,000 years, is considered a precursor to modern games like Ludo and Sorry!.
