The Indian game of pagade aata, also known as Pachisi (pa'chee'see) is the original cross-and-circle game, of which the best known example in the West is the much-simplified Ludo. Players aim to race their pieces around the board, with moves determined by a throw of shells. Hand stitched in cotton fabric by local artisans in the south of India, the tradition of making these games is on the edge of extinction. Enjoy a little collective fun and retain the essence of the past.
