Old board game is a term that can refer to two classic games: Halma and Parcheesi. Halma is a strategy board game invented in 1883 by an American plastic surgeon, George Howard Monks. It is played on a checkered board with 16 pieces per player. The goal of the game is to move all of one's pieces from one corner of the board to the opposite corner before the opponent does. Parcheesi is a cross and circle board game that originated in India. It is played on a board with four tracks of 12 spaces each. The goal of the game is to move all four pieces around the board and into the home space.
