PACHISI STRATEGY
It is possible to play the game with two players instead of four. In this case, play proceeds exactly as if there were four players but one player plays Yellow and Black and the other plays Red and Green. Each player's objective is to move all four pieces down the middle of the nearest arm, around the edge of the board in an anti-clockwise direction and then back up the same arm to finish back in the Charkoni. The pieces are placed on their sides when returning up the middle of the arm towards the Charkoni in order to distinguish them from pieces just starting. Pachisi is a team game, and is only won when both partners have all eight pieces home. As with all true team games, working together is the key to winning.
