I played Parcheesi for the first time last night. I was the tigers.

And I got doubled pounced by Tanner. Two of my tigers sent crying home in on fell swoop.
Also I had a hard time remembering the rolling doubles rules. But Robbie and Tanner were kind enough to remind me. After I had already moved my tigers.
Oh, and the little green guys are yaks. Not wildebeests. Because wildebeests do not live in India.
I always hear about Parcheesi and people playing it. Naturally I was very curious. I didn't even know it was the classic game of India.
So last night was like a fulfilling of a life long dream.
