Pachisi is known as the National Game of India, and involves four players that play as partners two against two on a board that is shaped like a cross. Each player races their pieces from the center, then around the board and back again. When a player lands on their opponents piece, it sends them back to the start.

In the basic game, except in special circumstances described below, you may only move your own pegs. You may never land on or pass over a hole occupied by one of your own pegs, but you may pass over or land on other player's pegs.

Passing over a peg of a different color has no effect on it, but landing exactly in the hole occupied by a peg of a different color has the following results:. In order to move your peg out of your start area, you must play a jack, queen, king, ace to move it to its "come out" hole or a joker to move it to the hole occupied by a peg of a different color anywhere on the main track.

When playing a 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 9 or 10 , you move one of your own pegs that is not in your start area forward that number of holes along the track. When playing an ace , you may either move one of your pegs from your start area to your "come out" hole, or move one of your pegs forward one hole.

When playing a jack , queen or king you may either move one of your pegs from your start area to your "come out" hole, or move one of your pegs forward 10 holes. When playing a 7 , you may either move one of your pegs forward 7 holes, or split the 7 between two of your pegs, moving them 1 and 6, 2 and 5 or 3 and 4 holes forwards. Of course the split move can only be made if you have at least two pegs in play.

When you play a joker , you move any one of your pegs for example one in the start area into a hole on the main track that is occupied by another player's peg, belonging either to a partner or to an opponent. This has the effect of sending that peg to its in-spot or start area respectively, as described above. A joker cannot be used to move to an empty hole, so if there are no pegs of any colour on the main track a joker cannot be played.

You must always use the full value of the card played. For example when playing a 6 you must move a peg forward 6 holes, no less. If you play a 6 when you have a peg on your in-spot and all your other pegs in the start area, you must move your peg on along the main track, since there is not room in the home track for a move of 6.

For a team to win the game, all its pegs must be in their respective home areas. Pegs move along the home tracks in the usual way. Since they cannot land on or pass over each other, the first peg to arrive must eventually be moved all the way to the end of the home track to leave room for the others, the second to the next space behind it and so on.

In other words, pegs cannot turn into their home track while moving backwards. Also, pegs that are already in their home areas are not allowed to move backwards. However, it is legal to use a backward move on the main track as a means to get from start to home.
