''Ashta-kashte'' is a race board game from Bengal akin to the Cross and Circle family for two to four players originating in India. Although there is no evidence for that, it is considered by some as the direct ancestor of ''Pachisi''. It is played on a board with a 7-by-7 grid on it. It is similar to Ashtam changam pe where there is a 5-by-5 grid on the board. Players race their pieces around the board, spiralling inwards to be the first to get all of their pieces to the centre. Movement is controlled by throwing cowry shells, but there is also an element of strategy to the game. Also called ''Koli kaDam'' in Hyderabad, India. ==Equipment== The board is a square divided into seven rows and columns. The outer centre squares on each side of the board are specially marked. They are the starting squares for each player, and also function as ''resting squares''. Each player has four pieces.〔(Ashte kashte | De Tablero, juegos de mesa )〕 Four cowry shells are used as dice. They are thrown and the number of shells that lie with their openings upwards indicates the number of spaces a player should move: 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Ashte kashte」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
