Pachisi Board Game - Traditional Indian Cross-and-Circle Game #32781 (License: Personal Use)

This image shows a standard Pachisi board, a historic Indian cross-and-circle game often considered the precursor to modern Ludo. The board consists of a symmetrical cross with four arms-red, blue, green, and yellow-each containing 12 squares leading to a 4-square home column, and a central safe zone (the “castle”) where pieces are protected. Four star-shaped tokens represent the starting positions for each player’s pieces.
