I grew up playing this wonderful game and bought a game for my own family to play many years back. Now that my son has a family of his own, I bought them the current Deluxe version of the game. Were we all very disappointed. The board doesn't just have the center fold, but actual quarter separations on which the rolled diced catch. The cups are too small in ratio to the dice size so that if both dice start to come out at the same time, they catch and don't exit the cup. The green and blue "men" are so dark and close in color that in ordinary ceiling light they are very hard to distinguish from one another (a dot of light paint had to be applied to the tops of one set of men to make the distinction). If only there was a choice of this games makers!

Deluxe Parcheesi is the original game and I think this is the one that should be available in stores, not the new one.

My brothers, father and I have been playing Parcheese for years. After I got married, my wife and I began. Am looking for a well crafted wooded board and pieces. This is a cardboard gameboard, plastic pieces. Gets the job done, but I'd like to be playing more elegantly!

I have been enjoying parcheesi as long as i can remember. It is a game that takes a beating. the only thing that i would make better is the board it doesnt last as long as the pieces do. I have taught my kids alot with this game. They learned to count, to not get frustrated, and also how not to be a sore loser i think every family should own one.

It's one of my favorite games ever. It's really fun trying to block people, land on them or just plain get there first!!!!!!!!!!!!

Parcheesi is one of the most exciting games you can find now. We went by the name of Ludo. I played it couple years ago and from since then I always one. Now me and my sisters play everyday. What makes it more interesting is we each man pays a quarter for each of his man that is sent back to the beginning (we call it "eat"). I really think you guys should try it one time, you'll see how much more fun it is.

Parcheesi is a fun game for 5-7 year-olds, but for anyone above that age it's a bore. Even after the first 3 or 4 games of a young child, Parcheesi becomes repetitious, and no more fun. The entire game consists of basically all luck, with a very little bit of strategy mixed in. If your idea of fun is deciding whether to move piece A forward 4 spaces or piece B forward 4 spaces, Parcheesi is certainly for you. If not, I would strongly recommend not buying this game from a store, but instead getting it for a quarter at a garage sale.
