PACHISI RULES
Each player’s objective is to move all the four pieces completely around the board, in a counter clockwise direction, before any of the other players. Every piece starts off from 'charkoni' and must end up there in order to win the game.
The first piece to leave the charkoni is decided by the first throw of shells. Other pieces can be moved only after obtaining a grace.
More than one piece can be placed on a particular box simultaneously. They need to be of the same team sides.
The piece is not allowed to movie into a castle, if it is occupied by one or more opponent's piece. A particular box occupied by a number of opponents pieces, cannot be taken. The piece is captured and placed back on Charkoni. To move the piece out again requires a grace.
Moving is not compulsory. A player can decide on the move or to retain the piece on the same place. It is mostly effective to get a certain strategy.
It is also possible for a player to move the piece even after having completed a full circuit of the board.
