Rules of Parcheesi

The object of Parcheesi is to move all four of your pawns from start to home. To enter a pawn, you must roll fives---either a five on one or both dice, or any combination totaling five.
  1. Moving Pawns

    • To move, you roll the dice and pawns are moved the number of spaces you roll. You can move one pawn the total of the dice, or two pawns by one number of each die.

    Throwing Doubles

    • If you roll doubles, you get another turn. If all four pawns are entered, you get a bonus: You can use the four numbers on the tops and bottoms of the dice for movement, a four-part move that is always 14. It can be taken by one pawn or split among two or more.

    Capturing Pawns

    • When you land on an opponent's pawn, you return it to its start circle. After you capture a pawn, you can move one of your pawns an additional 20 spaces.

    Blockades

    • Two pawns of the same color on one space form a blockade, which cannot be landed on, passed or captured. If a blockade occupies your enter space, you cannot enter a pawn.

    Winning the Game

    • To win, all your pawns must reach home first. Pawns must enter home with an exact die roll.
