R.VASANTHA, BOARD G AMES FROM THE C ITY OF V IJAYANAGARA 35 complete the looped course and return home wins. Players might have three or four pieces each. The action is controlled by throwing dice, requiring a certain throw to enter the game (for example 1, 5, or 6) and the same number to continue the turn. Hence throwing 2, 3 or 4 would end the turn. Landing on an opposing player’s piece captures the piece, unless the piece is on a cross-cut safe square. Usually, in this type of game, an exact throw is required to “get out” and thereby win the game. Enhanced rules such as blocking tactics and playing in patterned teams such as in Pachisi may also have been used. To conclude, according to the existing oral and play tradition, to contemporary (1300-1600) regional literature and to foreign traveler’s accounts, the board games from the city of Vijayanagara and surroundings may be classified into five categories, such as: 1. games played by the royalty, 2. games played for the royalty, 3. games played by masses (“folk games”), 4. games played by ladies, 5. games played by children, contrary to the classification made by H.J.R. Murray (Murray) between war games, hunt games, race games, games of alignment, etc. References Early sources (all dates AD) Anantha 1456. Anantha amatya.
