Parcheesi
Cross-shaped race game
Parcheesi is a board game where players race pieces around a cross-shaped track, advancing by dice rolls and trying to get all their pieces home before opponents.
Derived from the ancient Indian game pachisi, Parcheesi became a popular American brand name now used generically for this style of race game: We played Parcheesi after dinner.
