CONTENT

Parcheesi – Horse Race Chess (also known as Horse Race Chess) by QA Studios reimagines the classic Ludo-style board game with quirky horse-themed pieces and strategic dice rolls. It's designed for 2–4 participants—either friends or AI—from four teams: Citizon (defensive), Kicker (aggressive), Victor (fast strategic), and Rondon (steady progression). Players can choose between single or double-dice rules and enjoy features like saving/resuming games, auto dice roll, quick horse selection, and detailed stats tracking. With lively visuals, whimsical sounds, and flexible play modes, it’s a vibrant twist on a nostalgic childhood pastime.

Horse Race Chess is a variant of the Ludo game, quite popular in Asia. This engaging circle game was a favorite during our childhood. It becomes even more fun when played with friends or family, accommodating 2 to 4 players.

4 Teams

The game features competition against AI from four different teams:

+ Citizon (blue): deploys many horses to obstruct opponents' progress.

+ Kicker (red): aims to eliminate opposing horses by kicking them out.

+ Victor (orange): devises effective strategies to finish the game quickly.

+ Rondon (green): focuses on advancing swiftly to complete the course efficiently.

Rules for playing with one die:

+ Rolling a 1 or a 6 grants an additional turn and allows you to bring a horse out from your home area.

+ If both dice show the same number or there’s a combination of 1 and 6, you receive an extra turn and can also start a horse.
