In India, the game shown above is very popular. It is known with different names in different part of India. It is also known as Pachisa if five split seeds used to play. If all five falls black side token directly goes home from the starting point.
At our place, we called it Ashta Changa. Ashta means 8 and Changa means 4.
To play this game we only required chalk and some tamarind seeds. The figure shown can be drawn on any rough surface(If no suitable surface is available then can be drawn on a plain paper) and tamarind seeds used to make dice and tokens as Illustrated in the photo below.π
