Ashte Kashte is a racing game thought to have originated in India. A variant of the standard board is the circular board, consisting of a number of concentric circles. From 2 to 4 players begin on the coloured sectors. The object of the game is to reach the circle in the centre before anyone else.
1. Use the game board on BLM: Circular Ashte Kashte. 2. Players start on their starting sector. One at a time, they toss the four coins and move a token counterclockwise around the ring the number of spaces equal to the number of heads showing from their toss. 3. Play moves clockwise. • On a second or subsequent turn, players may choose to start another token, or continue with the first token. • Tokens move around the board until they have covered the first circle. • They then move inwards to the next circle closer to the centre, and proceed counterclockwise. 4. Players who land a token on a sector occupied by an opponent’s piece capture the piece. The piece is removed from the board and has to start again. • Pieces on a coloured sector cannot be landed on or captured. 5. Players who land on one of their own pieces create a double piece. • Doubles may be moved together. • Only other doubles can capture them. • Doubles cannot be passed over, or jumped. 6. The middle circle may be entered only by a direct throw. If a player throws too high a number, another token must be moved, or the turn is forfeit. 7. The winner is the first player with all four tokens in the centre. |
