Pagade - Block printed - Big

Product details

Pagade is one of the most iconic traditional Indian board games, known across the country by different names such as Pachisi, Chaupar, Chausar, Chopat and Dayakattam. It is widely regarded as the ancestor of the modern Ludo and Parcheesi games, making it one of the most historically significant board games from India.

The game is played on a beautiful block-printed cloth board handcrafted by rural artisans, preserving India’s traditional textile printing techniques. The board is paired with handcrafted wooden pawns colored with natural organic lac dyes and traditional long wooden dice (paasa) made by skilled wood craftsmen.

Pagade is a strategy and chance-based board game where players race their pieces around the board to reach the central home area. The game combines luck, tactical planning, and social interaction, making it perfect for families and friends.

This traditional game set reflects the rich cultural heritage of India, while supporting rural artisans and sustainable handcrafted production.
