How To Play Parcheesi Board Game 

Picked this up at Goodwill...my grandma had it..and I think the one I got is an older version like hers...looks fun. Thanks for the explainer...so much better than reading the instructions 14 times.🤠

I remember playing this as a kid but don't remember it being so complicated

Great video. I used to play this game with my grandmother, and were both VERY competitive and weren't good losers (but we were good sports). It;s an excellent game, when played with a core skill set that favors skill over luck can provide enjoyment and a skill set regardless of one's career path that will last a lifetime.

Great way to explain it. When I was a kid I used to play this with my dad all the time.

We're playing for the first time today, thank you for your video! I have a vintage board and I just got the pieces by buying a new game.

I may have to watch this video at least four more times to get all of the information. All the same, thank you for posting it.

Cờ cá ngựa hay còn gọi là Cờ đua ngựa là một trò chơi giải trí. Trò chơi này bắt nguồn từ trò Pachisi của Ấn Độ, du nhập sang Mỹ trở thành Parcheesi và phiên bản giản thể Ludo (cờ). Người Pháp gọi là petits chevaux (ngựa nhỏ), cuối cùng du nhập sang Việt Nam và được gọi là Cờ cá ngựa. Trò chơi này có thể từ hai đến bốn người chơi, diễn ra trên một bàn cờ hình vuông

Finally, thanks so much for the nice tutorial. Subscribed!

The childhood memories 😌

Like many others, I played this with Grandmother in the 1980’s. She had the same board, I believe the back of it is light blue? Anyway, great memories.

Thank you! Great instructions. It's been 30 years, and I'm ready to play again!

Thanks, Just what I was looking for, a good basic explanation of the game

Wow. I used to love playing this as a kid. Today, I found a store at the mall selling this game! I bought it, of course. But I forgot how to play!! Thanks for this video! I can't wait to open this up and teach my family how to play, while reliving childhood memories. :)

Thanks! This let get the basics quick so I could teach my 4 year old, and of course know she could play it. We're having a grand time right now!

🙋 I so totally love this game right here Parcheesi and along with other games like fishing-opoly, sorry, checkers, trouble, battleship, connect four, The game of Life, clue, Yahtzee, candyland, operation and Uno flip. All these that I just listed here are great games even though they're older games but they're still the best to this day and they're still everybody's favorite games to play.

Just watched the movie On Golden Pond where they played it in a few key scenes. And now it’s got me searching for the vintage board.

Yay! quarantine help !❤️❤️❤️

I'm overjoyed!

I loved that game as a kid ...

This is my husband’s favorite board game but I’ve never played it before. I’m excited to play it now that I’ve seen this, it looks like so much fun!

We played this for hours when we were kids, but you had to roll a 1 to leave base (not a 5) and I never heard of the 20 space bonus. Sometimes we'd play with only one die, took forever!

I used to play This Game when I was younger

Thank you! very helpful!

Old school 80 s i remember playing that game

At 1:40, if you get a 5 and a 4 for example, you have a third option, right? Which is to take another pawn out of the box with the 5, and then move any of the pieces 4 spaces... Is that correct? Thanks

Two other questions please: 1) So if there is a blockade ahead of you and you roll a higher number of moves, would you move anyway to just before the blockade or not move at all (effectually losing that turn)? 2) I read in some instructions you also get a 10 (or 20) movement bonus if you get 2 doblets in a row. You did not cover that. Have you heard about this rule? Optional maybe? Thanks

I'm our home you have to roll a solid 6 before you could be hatched or get out of your starting block. Ever time you roll a solid 6, you get to roll again. You cannot roll again even if you roll a double unless it's a solid six. Also after you capture a piece, you do not get to move any further than the space you captured on unless you rolled a solid six. There are no safety spaces unless you are double up on a space outside of your end entry blocks.

Ooo back when game had love stragity... My grandma and aunt Ceil... Those were good nights with them.

Your voice is one of the few American accents I genuinely think sounds beautiful

What happens with the doubles bonus if I already have pawns inside home? Let's say I have 3 pawns home and roll doubles can I move the only remaining pawn the 14 spaces?

At 3:25, so what happens if you roll the exact number and you piece is to move into an occupied safe space? You will just share that space? Will you stop just before it? Or will you not move at all?

Excellent video! I love this game, I just bought a very nice 3D parcheesi on Amazon, have you seen it? Blessings!🙂🙂🙂

Question on a scenario! Three of your pieces are in start and one piece is on your start blue safety spot and you roll a 5 and a 2. Do you have to move 2 and use the 5 to come put of start or can u move your piece 7? Thanks

If you roll and can move both if you go 1 then 2 but can’t move both if you go 2 then 1 do you have to go 1 then 2 or can you go 2 and be done?

Can you use the 5's from a double 2 to enter pieces?

I remember this game when I was little but I didn't never know how to play it

Thank you soooo much.

If there is a blockade, what is the radius? I played it with a 12 space radius so If you moved into it you couldn’t get out unless you rolled more or they moved. Also, can you make a blockade, in a blockade? Thanks

so they didnt make anything new with Sorry! I always heard of parcheesi in cartoons and shows and stuff and never knew what it was lol

Thank you

I love it. Love it. Whoop whoop. LMAO.

I was told that if you are in the home column that you only roll one dice. AND that if you roll a 6 (again, when you can only roll one dice) that it is like rolling doubles and you can roll again. Is that true?

I was under the impression if you roll a five and you still have pawns in the starting spot you must move one of them out. What if you roll doubles on the first roll when all four pawns are still in the starting spot and you did not roll a five? Do you roll again?

Also, anytime you get a pawn into the home base, you get a bonus 10 spaces for one of your pawns.. it's in the rule book.

Bruh the game SORRY totally ripped parcheesi off

I dont understand bout the safty zone... How does the person roll a 5 can capture you?? Because it lands on you?

When I played as a kid if you were in the red zone, and you rolled over the amount needed, you'd bounce and move backwards. I guess that was just home rules.

What happens if you roll a double and you capture someones piece sending them back to start? Do you roll again for the double and at the end move 20 free spaces or do you move 20 free spaces for that double then roll again?

what happens if you're down to your last piece because the other 3 are home, you roll both dice and you get a number that makes that last piece land one space away from home. Do I move the piece one space from home and lock myself out of the game? Or do I skip my turn and wait to go again? Or is there something else that should be done?

I had all three of my red pieces in Home. With my last piece, I got to the last space in the red spaces. You would have to roll a one to get into Home, which is impossible, b/c you have to roll two dice. You are only able to roll snake eyes. So my family said I lost since you have to roll the exact number to get into Home. My rolls were a 1 and a 4, then a 1 and a 5, then a 6 and a 4. I thought I should be able to get in by using the one from a roll, but since I only had one piece left out, they said you have to use all of your roll. They continued to play and rolled exact numbers to get into Home.

This other RU-vidr said that just passing the other player automatically kills his pawn. Never played it like that before.

Someone commented on my 1979 Kenner Alien Board Game video that it's based on Parcheesi. Which is interesting. I always heard about this game but (like Backgammon) never tried it. Alien is far more esthetic than standard Parcheesi.

If you are playing partners can you and your partner form a blockade? Also do you have to get your partner out if they are on your safety? Also can you put your partner back and move 20 spaces? Also.....if you roll a 4 and 3 and need 4 to get enemy do you move 23 with that pawn or any pawn? Or move that pawn 20 amd another pawn 3? What if thats the only pawn you have? This game needs better rules or understanding

My whole family played. 60’s and 70’s.

I am starting to gather a collection of Classic Parcheesi games from various time periods, companies, and variations. My wife wants to "thank you" for getting me on this kick.

If there is a blockade and someone eat someone's pawn,it will pass or not?

Thanks man, I finally know how to play after only 49 years. One thing that bothers me though. What happens if you're only one square away from the end? You can't roll a one with two dice.

i came here to check what the game was about after watching a spongebob episode...I havent heard of it either because I am from New Zealand or I'm vert sheltered

I'm 50 years old and haven't played this since I was maybe 10. But from what I recall, I played this completely wrong.

On the final stretch to home can you split move 2 pieces or can you only take one home by exact die count?

Louis Tully brought me here :P

I am a little confused at the "capturing opponent" part. If I roll a 3 and a 4 and he is four spaces away, can I knock him home? Or do you mean _both_ dice must add up to the exact number? It has been eight years, so I'm not sure you'll answer, nevertheless thanks for uploading, a well done video.

You can't move the piece you eat with.

Thx man, never learned how to play it as a kid then got given it as gift for Christmas by my mother as a way to kill time indoors.. Appreciate the video. The instructions provided in the box weren’t exactly as useful as your demo.

The Dan LeBatard show sent me here.

Why are there 2 different start points per home space (green @ yellow) and how do you know which one to use?

Shrek 2 brought me here!

so its kind of like mensch ärger dich nicht. but with 2 dice and some additional rules.

If you are in your opponents starting point and he gets out one you're still safe, but if he gets out another one and there's two of his and one of mine I'm out.

Hey Squidward, Parcheesi?

It so fun

1.U did not tell about 10 extra number when ur pawn enters in Home.. 2.U did not tell about Blockade open rule ..when double appears on dice say 6 6 .u have to open ur blockade. 3.when one player is sitting on safe cell other player can not sit in that safe cell.

If u have 2 of your pawns in the red....one is 4 away and the other is 2 away...and u roll a 4 and 2 in one roll, can u move both of them home?

The only way you can block and no one can pass you is when you're in your start and there's two of you there.

What if u have one space left to win? U can't roll a one. This is the only thing I can't figure out unless u have to roll double ones.

I wonder if Miranda is ready to play

If I have 3 home already, do I have to play with one dice?

Ghostbusters brought me here

I've been looking all over for a comprehensive tutorial. I don't understand how a simple game as this has so many different rules. even the names are different, such as Parchisi, Parcheesi, or Ludo. Which one is it? One version says five to get out another says six. This is ridiculous

The heart break kid movie brought me here I thought this was a made up game ....

My game is older but doesn’t have so many rules and extras Like using the bottom numbers on the dice you roll on doubles Lol are you teaching us house rules ?

Why am I here???

I always heard this was a complicated game. But this is literally just SORRY! for adults. It has all of the same rules essentially

How do you get a piece which is one step away from Parcheesi in? It's impossible to get a 1 when you roll two dice.

what to do if we got 6+6

Yay! Spain!

The way i play, you can't move with the piece you eat with

So it's pretty much the game sorry

정상숙제땜에 있으신분???

Note: the 20-spaces after capture is not in the official rules. It is considered a common "local rule" so as to speed up the game. The rules of capture are very specific. One method not covered here is capturing from single die. For example, an opponent 5 spaces away on a non-safe, non-blocked spot, if you roll nine (6+3=9), you can (a) move through them without capture the full 9 spaces, (b) move 6 spaces placing you 1 space ahead fo them, using the other die , 3, for a different piece, (c) move 3 spaces and placing you 2 spaces behind them, using the other die, 6, on a different piece Same scenario, but now suppose you roll (5+4). The option (a) remains; you can drive past them moving 9 spaces. However, because one of the die is indeed a 5, they are captured by the first-die move before the second (e.g you capture with the 5, then choose to continue the remaining die 4 spaces. You can also obviously move just the 5-die spaces, capture, and use the 4-die on another piece, or move the 4-die spaces leaving you one back of them, using the 5-die on a different piece. The point is, so long as one of the die (or both of the die should you choose that route) has a value that lands you explicitly *on* their space, they're captured unless you explicitly use a configuration that avoids it.

Isn't this basically Sorry?

POV you came here from sml

Where I’m from,we call it Ludo.

Shrek

who are play this game ?

This is pretty much the game sorry lol

Türk var mı Türk?

biden voter: REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE soo unfairrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!!!!!
