Pachisi

Players move a set of pawns from their corner around a shared cross-shaped track toward a central home area. Movement is determined by dice rolls; landing on an opponent’s space sends that pawn back to its starting corner to begin again. Play accommodates multiple players (commonly 2–4) who race simultaneously around the board, using roll-and-move tactics and captures to impede rivals. The first player to bring all of their pawns into the home section wins.
